Althaus Group (legal entity: OOO Althaus Konsalting) is a privately held Russian consulting group founded in 2009 and headquartered in Moscow, operating from five offices across Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. The firm employs over 200 professionals across finance, tax, law, valuation, and engineering disciplines, and delivers integrated consulting services through its proprietary 'Transaction Support 360' methodology, which coordinates financial, tax, legal, and technical due diligence, deal structuring, valuation, legal documentation drafting, and government commission approvals under a single director-level engagement manager.

The company serves large state-owned enterprises, diversified industrial holdings, manufacturing companies, investment funds, and high-net-worth individuals, with named engagements spanning agriculture, real estate, retail/consumer goods (Heineken Russia, Unilever Russia, Avon Russia), healthcare, telecommunications, mining, oil and gas, media, and banking (X5 Group). Sub-brands include ALTHAUS Legal, ALTHAUS Private Tax, and ALTHAUS University, signaling an integrated platform spanning corporate advisory, private wealth, and talent development. The firm is recognized across Russian and international rankings including RAEX (11th largest consulting group), Kommersant (Band 1 in M&A of international assets, capital markets, and family law), The Legal 500, Chambers & Partners, IFLR1000, and Pravo-300.

Althaus generates revenue through professional services engagements billed on a quote-based, project-driven model under multi-year enterprise contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging partner networks, content marketing through industry-specific DealBooks, and earned media from legal directory rankings. The firm holds no public listing, has no disclosed parent company or external funding, and ownership is concentrated among co-founders Rostislav Shatenok and Andrey Tsaruk, both Big4 alumni who lead the Moscow and Dubai offices respectively.
