History
EPAM Law (EPAM) has been in existence in various forms of incorporation since 1993. Founded in 1993, the firm's original strong academic background was established by distinguished Russian legal scholars — professor at Moscow State University Boris Puginsky (1941–2025) and professor at St Petersburg State University Nikolai Egorov (1947), who during the last years have retired from EPAM to devote themselves to philanthropy. In the mid-1990s, major western corporations began entering the post-Soviet market, and the firm's first clients were international investors and foreign law firms representing investors in Russia. Since the late 1990s, the firm has been actively involved in the economic developments taking place in Russia, repeatedly defending the rights and interests of various businesses from attempted hostile takeovers and asserting the rights of shareholders against illegal asset-stripping. As Russian companies were gaining momentum in the 2000s, EPAM took an active part in the global expansion of Russian business, representing major Russian companies internationally.
