Our People.
The same partners,
every matter.
Vetrov & Partners has fifteen specialists and one managing partner and three senior lawyers leading practices.
That ratio is not accidental — it reflects a deliberate decision
about the kind of practice we want to run.

The Practice
§ i
At Vetrov & Partners, the relationship between the number of partners and the number of matters we accept is not incidental. We have one managing partner and three senior lawyers leading practices because we believe that every matter we accept should be led, supervised, and — at the moments that count — personally attended to by a named partner. That is not a marketing proposition. It is a structural constraint that we have chosen not to relax, and that shapes every instruction we take.
The profiles below describe what each partner does and the types of matters they have managed. They are written to give overseas counsel and general counsel the information they need to assess whether the partner leading a proposed matter has done this kind of work before — not in general terms, but specifically.
