What CPO group does

CPO Group (legal name: OOO "Tsentr pravovogo obsluzhivaniya", "Center of Legal Services") is a Russian full-service commercial law firm founded in 1998, headquartered in Moscow with a second office in Saint Petersburg and claimed international presence in China, Italy, Kazakhstan, and Vietnam. The firm employs a team of 40+ lawyers organized into specialized practice areas covering dispute resolution and litigation (including arbitration and enforcement proceedings), corporate law and M&A, international law and cross-border transactions, tax law, intellectual property, energy sector regulation, real estate, IT and data protection, bankruptcy, and private wealth structuring (including personal funds). Its core technology is human expertise; no proprietary software platform is described — service delivery is lawyer-led, with the firm leveraging 27 years of track record, 2000+ cases, and 96% positive dispute resolution rate as competitive credentials.

The firm's go-to-market is enterprise field sales: prospective clients submit contact forms on pravorf.ru or call directly, after which managers develop tailored commercial proposals. Revenue is generated through professional services fees from individual matters and ongoing retainer engagements, with 80% of clients returning to engage additional practice areas — indicating strong cross-sell across the firm's service portfolio. The client base spans large Russian enterprises across agriculture, manufacturing, retail, telecom, energy, real estate, and cosmetics, plus government and diplomatic entities (including the Embassies of China, Spain, and Italy, and Rospatent). Distribution is direct, with offices in Moscow and Saint Petersburg serving clients across all Russian regions and abroad.

CPO Group is independently owned by its founders and senior management, with no external venture capital or institutional investor backing disclosed. The firm is recognized in the TOP-50 of Russian legal firms by three independent rankings (Pravo.ru-300, Kommersant Best Legal Practices, Expert RA), holds leadership positions in Dispute Resolution, Corporate Law/M&A, Real Estate/Land/Construction, and Intellectual Property, and is included in the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Registry of Reliable Enterprises. The Managing Partner is Anna Yuryevna Konyayeva; the Moscow office is led by Larisa Sergeyevna Naumenko, and the international practice is headed by Dmitry Alexandrovich Sidorov. The firm invests in thought leadership through a multi-language blog, RUTUBE video channel, 500+ media commentaries, and speaking engagements at forums including the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.
