    But we do not limit our services by mentioned on the website only. Our lawyers handle cases and legal projects in other branches of law and related areas. The only exclusion is that we do not handle criminal cases, but if necessary we can recommend competent criminal lawyers to our Clients.

    Rendering legal services the matters can be faced for which an involvement of experts in other areas is necessary. For example, services of auditors, adjusters, surveyors, average adjusters, translators, etc. can be necessary. Legal Element has a partnership with many experts and companies rendering corresponding services, and if necessary involves those experts for the all-inclusive and competent solution of Clients’ matters.

    Legal Element also provides a service of legal translations from English to Russian and vice versa. Legal translations made by specialists not competent in jurisprudence usually followed with some kind of essential logical mistakes. Translations of Legal Element are subject of expertise of English speaking lawyers, have no logical mistakes and are adapted with legal terms of a given jurisdiction.
