Kirill Yevgenyevich Nikonov

I worked with Kirill in 2018 for 4-5 months. He directly helped me and my business with software contracts and license agreements. My reason for contacting him was to ensure my business and myself are adequately protected while still being fair to customers. I worked with a few other lawyers and I... can say that I will definitely be contacting Kirril again for my next requirement. His time was worth it as he was accurate, understandable and could explain things so that I could understand consequences and where liabilities fall/did not fall. Excellent job! Thank you Chris

I am the founder of a software and original equipment manufacturing startup together with my “partner.” We needed help with the shareholder's agreement, incorporating in a way our investors could have a majority, but the founders retain control, and also we needed to solve a lot of IP-related matters.... We retained Kirill for this. My English (especially speaking) isn’t great, so I needed a Russian-speaking startup attorney. Further, Kirill’s rates are not the low but reasonable. Moreover, he understands our business needs and is extremely knowledgeable of the laws surrounding technology and software. Finally, Kirill is very straightforward, respectful and easy to talk to: if he needs to research something he makes a research, and he never speculates, he gives answers. That makes him stand out from the crowd. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an IP and business attorney.

I represent several European businesses and retained Kirill in order to help with contractual and corporate matters, and some IP issues because I do not have an US license to practice law. I was referred to him by a friend and I have never regretted decision to work with Kirill. His professional atti...tude helped us a lot. Besides professional sphere he's a kind and honest person who doesn’t want to challenge other attorneys when it comes to disagreement but rather just to act in the best interest of his clients. Hence, I would highly recommend everyone to work with Kirill!

I am the CEO of SmartyAds, Inc., an international software development company that provides blockchain solutions to businesses all over the world. SmartyAds and its subsidiaries have been working with Kirill for almost a year. I am writing this letter in enthusiastic support of his law practice. H...e is a brilliant intellectual property and corporate law attorney who helped us with a lot of projects: he dealt with various license agreements and other contracts, registration of trademarks and copyright, structuring the businesses and drafting shareholders’ agreements for new market projects. Kirill also provides an ongoing support for our international business across multiple jurisdictions – Hong Kong, mainland China, the United Kingdom, Europe. Besides his proficiency in law, Kirill has demonstrated high level of professionalism: Kirill has never put his ego above our interests even when the opposing counsels behaved inappropriately. Every negotiation he was involved in ended up with results great for both Smarty and our partners. His ability to advocate our interests without direct confrontation is equally valuable for us as his exceptional knowledge of the law. Therefore, I strongly endorse Kirill. Hire him knowing that you have the best of the best on your side. I cannot say enough about how good a reputation he has.
