	“Andrei has a passion for Intellectual Property Rights spurred by family experience. It is wonderful to see someone light up about an issue that is below most people's radar. For Andrei it's not a matter of balance, it's about the author's or inventor's rights.” Dan Olson Sun Life Financial
	“Andrei writes great articles espousing a philosophy of freedom.” Karen Selick Canadian Constitution Foundation
	“I had some major concerns about losing my ideas I'd worked hard on to a producer. Andrei sliced and diced the contract they sent me, helped my understand where and why I could get screwed if things got ugly and rewrote it to completely cover my ass-ets so I felt I could confidently move forward with the deal AND sleep well at night. ” Jason Bax
	“Andrei has a good knowledge of the IT industry, and an infallable ability to inform himself promptly, if he doesn’t know immediately. I was also impressed that he had the vision to add situationally unique clauses which really protected and even advanced my interests and business. His was not a cookie-cutter solution, but a well thought out and comprehensive document. He put the client at the center and was available for in person, phone, and e-mail consultations throughout the process. He also works fast, as there was a short window and he was able to get it done within that very limited time frame. I feel confident moving forward with my project, knowing Andrei has protected my interests in a thorough manner. He did excellent work! ” Susan Volan Undisclosed Vancouver software company
	“Andrei, thank you so much. The world of trademark, trade names and certification marks, along with all the various uses of descriptive words VS non descriptive words can be very confusing. I can see why the industry requires trade mark agents and lawyers, and I am grateful for meeting you at a networking meeting a few months ago to help me in this regard. It seems, even the first step requires the services of a professional, so, thank you once again.” Gordon Skillen iHonest.Com
	“Andrei has consistenly provided excellent service in providing legal advice on domain name infringements with a thorough analysis of the applicable laws involved. I highly recommend him. ” Bonny Cameau Nokia
	“Met with Andrei at Bridge Makers and when Andrei talks you want to listen and pay attention to what he says.” Lucie Woods
	“I can not speak too highly of Andrei's performance… Not only was he able to achieve swift and effective results for the client, he proved himself to have the ability to remain calm in a crisis and to deliver legal advice that was not only technically sound but was responsive to the client's needs, commercially friendly and easily understandable. He demonstrated an ability to manage client relationships in crisis situations, an ability that is only found as a rule in attorneys with many years more seniority than had Andrei (and even then, rarely found). He is a truly excellent lawyer, was regarded as someone with a great future in this office and we were all very sad indeed to see him go. Russia's loss is Canada's gain, and I am wholly confident that Andrei will go on to a very successful legal career in his adopted country…” Paul Melling Baker & McKenzie
	“Andrei is a professional in a true sense of the word. He comes in at a crucial moment and calmly delivers exactly what he promises. Like Mr. Wolf in ‘Pulp Fiction’. He is able to quickly evaluate what he can do, and if he is not the best person for the job, he will introduce you to one of his numerous contacts to make sure you get the best lawyer on your side.” Mikhail I. Goikhberg Sportable Media
	“Andrei is an intelligent, determined man. His clear focus and ambition will serve him and his Clients well. Now is the time to engage Andrei, as his influence and results increase, your relationship will become very valuable.” James Dean Waryk Unique Media House
	“As a tax professional, I meet people in many lines of work and get to know their reputation in the business community. Andrei has clearly set himself apart from his competition by establishing himself as not only an expert in his field, but earning trust from each of his clients. The speed, reliability and the style in which Andrei delivers the results quickly buys his clients’ loyalty – not only because of the quality of the work done, but the enjoyable environment he creates. And, the perks of doing business with Andrei are icing on the cake! As a customer myself, the DVD suite bought for my 2 year old daughter was reimbursed by Andrei during his recent promotion. Money back from a lawyer?!?!?!?! Andrei is truly one of a kind!” Dalton Green Green Financial Online Inc., http://greenfinancialonline.com
	“I had the pleasure of working with Andrei over the years and consistently came away impressed by his tenacity, drive & thoughtfulness in both the work he undertook, as well as the energy he gave to being supportive of his colleagues. I recommend him highly.” Christopher Aide Baker & McKenzie
	“I have been getting great service from Andrei when he was with Baker & McKenzie Moscow office. He has been helping me as General Director of VF Corp in Moscow to fight counterfeiters of the Lee and Wrangler brand with very good results. I can honestly endorse Andrei as great lawyer in this area.” Alberto Calo VF Corporation
	“Andrei is an extraordinary lawyer. He’s not one of those lawyers that just simply try to stuff a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo down your throat. He actually tells you the way it is in plain English what it is that you need to do, what it is that he can do for you and how he will devise plans to protect your intellectual property…” Michael Rubin Illustrators MD
	“Andrei worked in Baker & McKenzie Moscow IP Practice Group from 2003 to 2007 before moving to Canada. When he joined the firm he already was an accomplished copyright specialist with quite substantial experience in both advisory and contentious work including UDRP represenation. The four years with the firm served to expand his international outlook, added finesse to his drafting and negotiation skills turning him into a top-tier IP lawyer. I whole-heartedly endorse Andrei and believe that now that he already has a proper common law training he will be able to contribute significantly to development of cross-cultural IP practice of his potential employer.” Eugene Arievich Baker & McKenzie
	“Andrei was a very driven, energetic and hard working lawyer with a keen interest in copyright matters and sense for business development in that area, also with great practical experience.” Max Gutbrod Baker & McKenzie
	“I have been working with Andrei when starting a company, and I found his legal advice to be both invaluable and professional. While setting up the company and after signing the contract with Andrei, I was fully reliant on him performing the necessary legal analysis of the situation, which left me free to focus on other tasks. During our work together I enjoyed easy communication and fast response through either email or phone. I have to add that Andrei is one of the most dedicated individuals that I know, willing to work late hours well into the morning to meet the deadline.” Georgy Korablev edutism.com
	“Andrei is a very talented lawyer, hard-working, results-oriented and articulate. With Canadian and Russian legal education he will be a real asset as a global IP lawyer to any firm.” Carol Patterson Baker & McKenzie
	“The professional legal adviser for Russian and International Law. Highly Recommend to engage this Lawyer to solve your problems or to prevent them in advance!” Alexander S. Zakharov Paragon Advice Group
	“Andrei is a genius when it comes down to breaking complicated laws and pulling them into simple contracts. I have spoken with many Vancouver lawyers and Andrei was by far the most down to earth and friendly lawyer I have ever met. You can trust him, he brings great results and he delivered on-time on every occasion. I highly recommend hiring Andrei for your contracts, intellectual property or non-disclosure agreements.” Matt Astifan WebFriendly.Ca
