About

Founded in 2003, the Diktatura Zakona Bar Association operates in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On the practice of law and the legal profession in the Russian Federation.” The main purpose behind its creation was to provide high quality legal assistance by responding to the new challenges of the ever-changing legal profession.

Our bar association has many years of experience in protecting the interests of major Russian and foreign organizations, providing legal support to municipal bodies and government agencies of the federal subjects of the Russian Federation.

The members of our bar association are highly skilled attorneys and lawyers with over 25 years of experience in different areas of law. Most of our experts have experience working in law enforcement and regulatory agencies, as well as in public authorities of the Russian Federation. 

The Diktatura Zakona Bar Association prioritizes individualized client approach and assuring confidentiality of matters that are entrusted to our experts. Our bar association offers one-time consultations as well as subscription-based legal services which provide legal assistance on a regular basis for addressing legal issues that arise in the course of a client’s activities.  Other approaches to setting up compensation for our services are also acceptable.

Mission

In providing legal assistance to our clients, we are always mindful of the fact that our primary mission as attorneys is to protect the innocent, serve our society and ensure the supremacy of law in all its forms. The name of our association is more than just a slogan or an effective tagline. The establishment of the dictatorship of law is the objective of every lawyer. To quote the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, “Russia can have only one form of dictatorship – the dictatorship of law.”
