Our firm’s social responsibility includes providing legal assistance with reduced fees or on free of charge basis (pro bono):

  • In the summer of 2013, the lawyers of Maxima Legal defended the interests of Yury Shevchuk, the singer of DDT group in the resonant “case of honor” against Nikolai Denin, the Governor of the Bryansk region. We were able to prove the injustice of the charges brought against the singer and defend his right to express his own public stand.
