Baikal Lobridge CEO Eduard Voytenko and Valery Afanasyev, Partner for GR & Risk at Baikal Lobridge, have been recognized in the third annual Ranking of Lawyers and Law Firms – 2025, published by Rossiyskaya Gazeta. Both were placed in the highest Tier 1 group in two categories: “GR / Government Relations” and “Legal Education and Public Outreach.”
The “GR / Government Relations” category appeared in the ranking for the first time this year, with Baikal Lobridge representatives immediately making it into the highest Tier 1 group.
The ranking covers 22 categories, with professionals divided into several tiers within each one. Tier 1 brings together leading and widely recognized experts in their respective fields. Inclusion in this group reflects a high level of professional expertise, a strong business reputation, and a significant contribution to the development of the industry. The ranking is based on individual nominations and lists the professionals, their companies, and their positions at the time of application.
For Baikal Lobridge, having its representatives recognized in two Tier 1 categories is an important sign of trust from the professional community. It also highlights the company’s contribution to developing best practices in GR and lobbying.
We thank the organizers and the ranking jury for their high assessment of our work, and our clients and partners for their trust and for the opportunity to work together on complex and important projects.
