About the firm
Horizon Global
We advise mid-sized and large businesses on legal, commercial and insurance matters. Head office in Moscow, project offices in Dubai, Vienna and Bangkok.
Each matter is staffed by a team drawn from several practices, so the dispute, the tax exposure and the criminal-law risks are assessed together rather than one after another. Lawyers and advocates work within one firm.
