Partner Konstantin Olefir, along with Senior Associates Artem Asoyan and Vladislav Lazutkin have contributed to the Russian tech M&A market report per 2025, acting as external experts and providing comprehensive commentary on the key sections of the report.

Our experts have highlighted actual trends and challenges of pre-closing IT/IP asset restructuring, JV set-up, cross-border business fragmentation risks, as well as the enforcement of shares options, earn-out and ratchet provisions as key employees’ incentives.
 
Our team’s commentaries are also focused on the legal aspects of comprehensive software / AI due diligence, including the risks of integrating third-party LLMs via APIs, legal protection of AI-generated content and significant impact of the “vibe coding” on the IP due diligence.
