Squire Patton Boggs has hired Georgy N. Borisov as partner in its Global Corporate Practice in Moscow. A corporate and M&A specialist with 20 years’ experience, particularly in the energy and natural resources sector, Mr. Borisov was formerly a partner at K&L Gates in Moscow.
We’re delighted to have Georgy Borisov join us,” said Sergey Treshchev, Office Managing Partner of Squire Patton Boggs in Moscow. “Energy and resources make up a key industry sector in the Russian economy and it is one where we have long-standing relationships and outstanding credentials. Georgy’s reputation is also well established in this arena and his arrival will be a significant asset for clients.”
Focused on complex transactional work, Mr. Borisov advises a wide range of Russian and international companies in the oil and gas industry, as well as in coal and agrichemicals production and related sectors. He also has extensive experience advising on commercial real estate matters and on the business of trade shows, acting in the first ever sale of a Russian trade show to multiple buyers. Among his representative energy and natural resources work highlights are: advising a Russian mineral fertilizer producer on the US$400 million acquisition of a gas condensate field; acting for a Russian gas producer in its US$8 billion acquisition of production and LNG assets in the Sakhalin area; and advising a European energy company on a US$200 million acquisition of oil and gas assets in the Volga region.
Mr. Borisov began his professional career as in-house counsel with the White Nights oil company in Russia, and subsequently served in private practice in the corporate departments of major US and international law firms in Moscow and London. A graduate of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations School of Law, Mr. Borisov also holds an LLM from John Marshall Law School, Chicago.
“Georgy’s expertise and versatility make him a great fit with our team,” commented Patrick Brooks, who leads the Corporate Practice in Moscow. “His sector knowledge is reinforced by strong commercial acumen which informs all his cross-border deals, whether in energy or real estate. He joins a strong and dynamic corporate team here in Moscow, part of a global practice that works alongside our Energy & Natural Resources group, both of which continue to see significant expansion and investment.”
Mr. Borisov is the latest energy and natural resources specialist to join the firm – over the past year Adam Hastings, Matthew Mulqueen, Karim Maalioun, James Duckworth and Alain Farhad have strengthened the Squire Patton Boggs global team.
