The Standard
We work with Armenia's largest taxpayers and internationally active companies as their dedicated legal partner — providing the same caliber of advisory typically reserved for Big Four-affiliated engagements, with the speed and directness of a specialized boutique firm.
“Legal risk in employment and commercial matters is not a back-office concern — it is a direct liability to operations, reputation and investment returns.”
Practice Areas
Five integrated disciplines — engineered for Fortune 500 operations, top taxpayers and foreign investors who cannot afford ambiguity.
Full-cycle legal coverage across hiring, workforce restructuring, terminations and dispute resolution — built to withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Outcome
“Restructured 47 employment contracts for a Fortune 500 retailer entering Armenia — eliminated 100% of identified termination-risk exposure.”
End-to-end audit of HR documentation, internal policies and labor risk exposure — aligned with Armenian law and international corporate governance standards.
Outcome
“Closed a 9-figure multinational's HR audit with zero unresolved findings — engagement renewed for a 3rd consecutive year.”
Drafting, review and negotiation of commercial agreements, service contracts, NDAs and confidentiality frameworks — protecting your position at every stage of a transaction.
Outcome
“Negotiated a USD 12M cross-border services agreement on the client's standard form — preserved every material protective clause.”
Legal support for EAEU nationals and foreign employees — structured to eliminate delays and ensure uninterrupted workforce deployment.
Outcome
“Relocated a 60-person engineering team from 4 jurisdictions in under 6 weeks — zero work-permit rejections.”
Monthly legal and regulatory briefings tailored to your industry — so your leadership and HR teams are never caught off guard by legislative shifts.
Outcome
“Pre-emptive briefing on the 2025 EAEU mobility amendments saved a client an estimated 4 months of deployment delay.”
Bespoke Mandates
Cross-border restructurings, sensitive workforce matters, board-level investigations — engagements that demand discretion and senior counsel from day one.

Regulatory Intelligence
Industry-tailored legal and regulatory intelligence — read by General Counsel, CHROs and Country Managers operating in Armenia.
The 2026 amendments quietly redefine termination notice, remote-work obligations and EAEU-sourced staffing. Foreign employers operating in Armenia have until Q3 to align — or absorb the cost.
ReadEAEU mobility is marketed as frictionless. In practice, five compliance traps consistently delay multinational deployments by three to six months — every one of them avoidable.
ReadArmenia, Georgia and the UAE compete for the same relocated engineering talent. The 2026 tax-residency picture has shifted — here is how to read it from a corporate, not personal, perspective.
