Our Firm
Kesarev provides Strategic Government Relations and Public Affairs advisory, with deep expertise in Russia, Belarus and the Eurasian Economic Union, complemented by broader advisory capabilities across EMEA and expertise in BRICS, Global South and Eurasian policy frameworks. Services are provided in selected markets and subject to applicable law, sanctions and jurisdictional availability. The Kesarev entity responsible for each engagement is identified in the applicable engagement letter.
Since 2004, we have supported organizations:
- navigate political and regulatory systems,
- anticipate policy developments and participate transparently in consultation processes,
- address complex regulatory and institutional issues,
- support business continuity in changing environments.
Kesarev maintains offices in Berlin, Moscow and Minsk, and our 50+ advisors bring long-term experience in public policy and government affairs. The presence of an office does not mean that services described on this website are available from or through that office. Each office and professional acts only within the legal and sanctions framework applicable to them.
We translate complex business issues into clear, evidence-based policy positions and support effective engagement across relevant institutional levels.
References to the Kesarev brand do not indicate that Kesarev operates as a single cross-border service provider. No office, entity or professional participates in, manages, reviews, finances, invoices, facilitates or benefits from an engagement where such participation would be prohibited. Jurisdiction-specific legal advice is provided only by appropriately qualified counsel and only where lawful.

It does not provide prohibited services directly or indirectly to the Government of Russia, legal persons, entities or bodies established in Russia, or other restricted recipients, and it does not participate in engagements handled by other offices where such participation would breach EU sanctions or anti-circumvention rules.
