A practice at the intersection of financial crime, EU sanctions and complex civil litigation — operating natively between the European Union and the CIS. Senior counsel on every matter, in French, English and Russian.
Five tightly defined areas, each demanding specialist knowledge under pressure.
We work where financial crime, international sanctions and cross-border litigation meet — the matters that rarely sit within a single jurisdiction, and never within a single legal culture.
The person behind the practice — and behind every mandate.
A dual French and Russian-qualified litigator with recognised expertise in financial crime and sanctions law. Elena's dual qualification gives clients a genuine advantage in matters bridging the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States — a perspective that is rare in the field.
Before founding the practice between Paris, Nice and Monaco, Elena spent more than fifteen years in established firms in Moscow and Paris, developing the cross-jurisdictional fluency that now defines her work.
As membership to the Monaco Bar is reserved for Monaco nationals, Fedorova Avocat represents clients in the Monaco courts working with Monaco Avocats Defenseurs.
In high-stakes matters, the boutique model is a structural advantage — not a limitation.
Strategy is never delegated, and the cross-jurisdictional view is built into the practice.
Elena personally supervises every matter at the firm, delegating work while remaining directly involved at every stage. It's an approach rooted in mentorship — one she also brings to her teaching at Paris Panthéon II University.
Qualified in both French and Russian law, Elena operates within each system as a practitioner rather than a foreign observer, reading its procedural and cultural logic from the inside.
Complex international matters rarely stay in one forum. We manage parallel proceedings and coordinate strategy across legal systems without losing the thread.
Clients hear a clear assessment of risk, not reassurance. In matters of this scale, an accurate reading of exposure is worth more than comfort.
Representative matters
Complex matters benefit from early counsel.
A preliminary, confidential conversation — in French, English or Russian. We are happy to hear the shape of a matter before it becomes a mandate.
