Asari Legal’s team advises banks, non-bank credit institutions, insurance companies, investment and asset management firms, as well as financial market infrastructure providers.
We have deep expertise in the regulation of financial institutions along with extensive experience interacting with the Bank of Russia and supporting transactions in the financial sector, including cross-border projects.
We pay particular attention to advising in the context of special economic measures and sanctions, including defending clients’ interests in cases of blocked accounts and restricted operations, interacting with foreign correspondent banks and providing support in financial disputes and regulatory investigations.
We assist with project, structured, and trade finance transactions, bond issues and placements, syndicated loans, and hybrid instruments combining debt and equity features. Our experience includes complex deals involving state-owned entities, foreign financial institutions, and international banks.
Our approach combines strong technical knowledge of financial regulations, a clear understanding of the regulator’s perspective, and flexibility in working with innovative business models, including fintech and digital financial assets. We support clients at every stage — from strategy and structuring to implementation and dispute resolution — helping them navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory and market landscape.
