On 2 December 2022, the Carlton Hotel hosted the award ceremony for the winners of the Pravo.RU-300 national legal rating. Several thousand representatives of leading metropolitan and regional law firms attended the official ceremony, where the best representatives of the profession were named. Orion Partners was recognized in five practice areas and was the only firm to be recognized as the best in the Finance/Banking, International Litigation and International Arbitration categories at the same time.

The first large-scale survey of the Russian legal services market was conducted by the information and analytical portal Pravo.RU in 2010. The organizers of the rating saw their main objective as increasing the transparency of the market and creating a benchmark in assessing the professional level of legal advisors for courts and clients. Since its introduction, Pravo.RU-300 has won the status of the most prestigious national rating, and the annual awards ceremony has become one of the most anticipated events of the business season for the legal community.

This is the first time Orion Partners has taken part in the survey, which makes its ranking position even more impressive:

• 1st tier in International Litigation

• 1st tier in International Arbitration

• 1st tier in Finance/Banking

• 2nd tier in Corporate Law/M&A (Mid market)

• 2nd tier in Private Equity

According to the organizers of the rating, Pravo.RU-300 is a working tool that is being actively used on a regular basis by corporate lawyers and representatives of corporate tender departments to search and select contractors. The rating methodology is based on an assessment of the project experience of law firms, as well as on client feedback regarding the level of services and the ratio of cost and quality of legal services. To improve the rating mechanisms, an independent Expert Council was created, consisting of the heads of legal departments of large companies.

The results of the survey and a photo report from the awards ceremony are available on the official website of the Pravo.RU-300 rating.
