Eastern European Desk and the wider CIS Region
At SBP Law, our Eastern European and CIS Desk is led with senior expertise and a genuine understanding of the region. With multilingual capability and deep cultural awareness across our team, we provide clear communication and practical support to clients navigating legal matters in the UK and internationally.
We assist individuals, families and businesses from Eastern Europe, the Baltic region and the CIS with property, commercial and private legal affairs. Combining regional insight with English legal precision, our team delivers pragmatic, commercially focused advice across property, corporate, litigation, private client and insolvency matters.
Property
A multilingual Partner personally advises overseas clients, including high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, investing in UK real estate. We handle acquisitions, sales, refinancing and development projects, and advise on ownership structures, SDLT, CGT and non-resident implications. For clients with property interests abroad, we coordinate with trusted local firms to ensure integrated cross-border solutions.
Corporate and Commercial
Our corporate team advises on market entry, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, corporate structuring and commercial contracts. We work with clients from across Eastern Europe, the Baltic region and the CIS on complex cross-border projects.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Our litigation team represents clients in English courts and before leading arbitral institutions. We act in matters involving enforcement, fraud and asset recovery, often spanning multiple jurisdictions.
Private Client and Wealth Management
Our private client team supports high-net-worth individuals and families with wills, trusts, succession planning and cross-border wealth management. We work closely with accountants and advisers to deliver efficient, secure outcomes and ensure compliance with UK law.
Insolvency and Restructuring
We advise businesses, creditors and investors on corporate recovery, restructuring and enforcement matters. Our team assists with recognition of foreign proceedings, distressed acquisitions and pre-insolvency planning.
Wherever our clients are based – London, Warsaw, Riga, Kyiv or beyond – they can rely on our clear advice, pragmatic solutions and consistent support.
Whatever your issue, speak to our friendly and responsive team and consider it done.
