Legal protection for foreign nationals and businesses in Russia

English-speaking lawyer Tarasenko Vasiliy Georgievich

Protection against unlawful actions by government authorities and officials

Legal assistance in cases of unlawful detention, abuse of authority, violations of the right to defense, denial of medical care, discrimination, and other infringements of fundamental human rights.
Human rights cases require precise legal strategy rather than general advice. We assist in situations involving unlawful detention, pressure from law enforcement or investigative authorities, violations of rights in detention facilities, denial of medical treatment, unlawful decisions by public authorities, and other situations where it is necessary not only to stop the violation but also to have it officially recognized, overturn unlawful decisions, and obtain compensation for the harm caused.

What cases a human rights lawyer handles

We assist in cases where fundamental rights and freedoms are violated and legal protection against unlawful actions or decisions of public authorities is required.
  • Unlawful detention, delivery to police stations, personal searches, or seizure of property and documents
  • Pressure, threats, violence, or degrading treatment
  • Violation of the right to legal defense or denial of access to a lawyer
  • Unlawful actions by police, investigators, detention facilities, bailiffs, or other authorities
  • Denial of medical care, medication, examinations, or necessary treatment
  • Violations of the rights of detainees, suspects, defendants, or incarcerated individuals
  • Discrimination and unequal treatment
  • Unlawful decisions by migration authorities, social services, guardianship authorities, healthcare institutions, or educational institutions
  • Violations of property rights or other civil rights caused by unlawful government actions

Typical situations include:

Human rights cases rarely involve only a single complaint. Effective protection usually requires a combination of legal tools: immediate evidence preservation, procedural complaints, court challenges, demands to stop the violation, and—when appropriate—claims for compensation and constitutional or international remedies.

How we protect human rights in practice

  1. Analyzing the facts, documents, and procedural history of the case
  2. Securing and preserving evidence, including medical documentation, communications, video materials, and witness statements
  3. Selecting the most appropriate legal strategy and jurisdiction
  4. Filing complaints with prosecutors and supervisory authorities
  5. Challenging administrative decisions and penalties
  6. Contesting unlawful actions or decisions of public authorities in court
  7. Filing claims for damages and compensation for moral harm
  8. Preparing appeals to human rights institutions and constitutional bodies when applicable

Our work may include:

A mistake in such cases can result in lost evidence, missed deadlines, or the use of an ineffective legal strategy. Human rights disputes often involve several legal areas simultaneously, including criminal procedure, administrative law, civil compensation claims, and constitutional matters.

In some cases, international mechanisms may also be considered. However, these procedures typically require that domestic remedies be exhausted and that strict admissibility requirements be met.

For this reason, human rights cases require careful legal analysis, strategic planning, and precise procedural actions.

Why human rights cases require specialized legal representation

International protection mechanisms exist but are not always available for every case.

The European Court of Human Rights currently considers applications related only to events that occurred before September 16, 2022.

At the same time, certain complaint procedures within the United Nations human rights system may still be available in specific circumstances. These procedures generally require that domestic remedies have been exhausted and that the case meets strict admissibility criteria.

Each case must therefore be carefully assessed before initiating international proceedings.

International protection of human rights

  • Legal representatives of minors

We gather and secure evidence including procedural documents, medical records, witness statements, and other relevant materials.

Step 3 — Immediate legal action
We prepare urgent complaints and applications, seek access to legal representation, request medical examinations when necessary, and take steps to stop ongoing violations.

We represent clients in court, interact with prosecutors and authorities, and pursue available legal remedies.

When appropriate, we pursue compensation for damages and explore constitutional or international legal remedies.
