Secretan Troyanov Schaer
Swiss Law Firm in Russia
Our firm looks back on nearly thirty years experience in servicing an international clientele. We focus on clients (multinational corporations, banks, SMEs, individuals) rather than particular areas of law.
Our expertise in house and our network of correspondents and contacts allow us to achieve results and provide solutions in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
