«We welcome Sergey Artemiev's appointment as a Partner at ALRUD. The transition to partner status is a natural step, reflecting his considerable contribution to the development of the Tax Practice and the firm as a whole. In over ten years at ALRUD, Sergey has proven his ability to provide outstanding expertise and a great dedication to both his profession and our common cause. His partner status at our firm is a recognition of his competence and outstanding sense of responsibility to the team and our clients. This is a role that requires the ability to combine legal expertise with an entrepreneurial approach. ALRUD's tax practice has always featured various lawyers and tasks, and now it can boast two partners. This will enable us to focus more effectively on developing key areas: working with private clients and providing expertise on tax structuring issues. Developing a system of partnership within the team is an important part of our strategy for strengthening the firm's position in the market», commented ALRUD Senior Partner Maxim Alekseyev.

ALRUD is one of the first law firms in Russia to implement a partnership model whereby partners not only manage the business but are also its co-owners. This approach allows lawyers to grow as consultants and build careers as top managers and entrepreneurs.

Since 2007, the partnership system at ALRUD has served as the foundation for achieving the firm's strategic goals and increasing the value we provide our clients. The appointment of each new Partner is considered with these priorities in mind and contributes to the further development of the firm and the strengthening of the team. The partnership preparation program involves immersing employees deeply in the business tasks of our individual practices and of the firm as a whole.

The partnership institute at ALRUD has become an effective mechanism for career growth and motivating employees to achieve new heights. This system eliminates internal competition between partners and practitioners, ensures stability, and creates opportunities for clients to interact directly with the firm's co-owners.
