What we stand for We are profoundly convinced that law is a competition of arguments embedded in the social practices of the community. Therefore the function of the commercial lawyer is not to "tell what the law says," but to deliver the winning arguments and durable solutions. At Hellevig, Klein & Usov we think that lawyers shall be committed to contribute to an overall increase of justice just the same way doctors are committed to contribute to health. It is with justice in mind that we conduct our business and advise our clients. We are committed to deliver a quality service oriented on finding durable solutions for the client's needs We want to live up to the perception of Hellevig, Klein & Usov being the firm that brings real value-added in all its dealings. From the very outset Hellevig Klein & Usov positioned itself as a firm helping foreign investors to adapt to the Russian reality and Russian firms to adapt to international best practices. It is our goal to continue delivering truly comprehensive and cost-effective advice that enhances the value of our clients' businesses. The mismatch between the social practices of former Soviet Union and the young Russia possess formidable challenges for investors. Hellevig, Klein & Usov provides a unique service concept to deal with these challenges. The fundamental principle in doing so is the conviction that "law" represents an aspect of all business dealing (yes all human dealings), and therefore we cannot practice law in a vacuum beyond the business processes. Understanding this we engage non-legal highly qualified and experienced management and business consultants in our engagements. This way we really get to understand the underlying business process to which we bring the legal value-added advice. We are of the right size. Our 25 lawyers at Hellevig, Klein & Usov are supported by 15 experts from other fields for a thorough understanding of the client's business processes, and by dedicated key account managers who ensure a superior customer service. All together with the total staff of some 150 in the Awara Group we are of the optimal size to deliver a super service based on sufficient skills and experience. We can react faster and combine all expertise in one act without having to go through time-consuming and complicate exercises to try to combine the deliverables of various specialized departments. We say that we do not suffer from the "left-ear doctor syndrome," the condition of major consulting firms where functions are so specialized that consultants are available to assist only with their very narrow expertise, as if a doctor would specialize only in the left ear. This is why Hellevig, Klein & Usov is quick and cost-efficient. |
