What Andrey Gorodissky & Partners does

Andrey Gorodissky & Partners (Адвокатское бюро «Андрей Городисский и Партнеры», AGP) is a national Russian law firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in a single Moscow office on Znamenka Street. The firm has operated continuously for 33 years under the leadership of founder Andrey Gorodissky, who transitioned to Chairman in 2020 with Dmitri Lubomudrov assuming the Managing Partner role. AGP is registered with the Moscow City Bar Association under registration number 77/2-84.

The firm provides professional legal advisory services across 13+ practice areas organized into core practices (Corporate Law/M&A, Dispute Resolution/International Arbitration, Intellectual Property, Tax Law, Employment Law, Bankruptcy, Antitrust, Project Finance, Capital Markets, Business Process Outsourcing) and industry verticals (Construction & Real Estate, Mineral Resources, Smelting & Mining, Business Aviation). There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies entirely on partner-led professional service. Notable matters include advising Otkritiye Holding on the acquisition of Arkhangelskgeoldobycha from LUKoil, representing Sberbank CIB in a RUR 20 billion mezzanine loan to Mkapital, and advising on USD 10 billion in GDR/Eurobond/ADR issuances for Russian companies during 2000-2009.

AGP generates revenue through hourly or fixed fees on a client-engagement basis typical of large law firms, with services billed to large Russian and international corporations, financial institutions (Sberbank, Otkritiye, Rostelecom), state-owned enterprises, and high-net-worth individuals across banking, pharma, FMCG, mining, construction, TMT, energy, and aviation sectors. The firm acquires clients through direct partner-led relationships, referrals from international law firms, and active placement in Legal500, Chambers & Partners, IFLR1000, The Best Lawyers, Pravo300, ProBankruptcy, and Kommersant rankings. The firm maintains a bilingual Russian/English website, publishes analytical commentary, and sends partners to industry conferences (IBA, St. Petersburg Legal Summit) to maintain market visibility.
