Dentons expands St. Petersburg tax group

Vasili Markov 100x90

Dentons has appointed partner Vasilii Markov as the head of tax at its practice in St. Petersburg, Russia. The firm has hired seven other tax professionals to expand the team which Markov will oversee.

Markov has more than 10 years of experience in tax advice. He has advised Russian companies and multinationals on tax affairs, with key strengths in the high-tech sector, particularly the digital economy and public-private partnerships. He has also advised governments on projects across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The tax practice offers clients the full range of domestic and international tax, including planning and compliance, restructuring, incentives, due diligence and M&A support. The team has strong expertise in areas such as dispute resolution, transfer pricing, customs duties and supply chain management.
