Overview

Goltsblat BLP is the first Russian international law firm established as a result of a merger between one of the biggest teams of Russian lawyers (partners and lawyers from Pepeliaev, Goltsblat & Partners), and the major UK law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP). Goltsblat BLP currently has over 90 Russian and UK qualified lawyers, including 12 partners. Goltsblat BLP offers full scope of legal services, including comprehensive legal support for complex projects and cross-border transactions.

Private equity is one of the core areas within Goltsblat BLP / Berwin Leighton Paisner corporate practice. Due to rapid market development in Russia in the last few years we made a decision to establish a dedicated private equity group to ensure we can deliver the best possible services to our clients in this area.

Private Equity and Venture Capital Group of Goltsblat BLP / Berwin Leighton Paisner consist of private equity lawyers based in Moscow and London. We also have corporate lawyers based in our Paris, Singapore, Brussels and Abu Dhabi offices.

We act for private equity houses, management teams, business angels and a number of the larger and mid-tier institutional investors. Transactional work is partner-led, with a client relationship partner responsible for ensuring that the client's needs are serviced efficiently and at the most appropriate level.
