CV IMI-Profile
Relationships, personal or business, don't fail for lack of law; they fail for lack of straight talk. Running that talk as mediator, or representing a side within it as mediation advocate, is now the heart of my practice, with the legal background still being the muscles.

Built on two decades at the sharp end of law. Civil, criminal and administrative matters, at all levels up to the Supreme and Constitutional Courts, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and the European Court of Human Rights. Contracts, deal-making and dispute resolution across borders.
The only Russian-speaking dual-qualified IMI Certified Mediator and IMI Certified Mediation Advocate worldwide, with additional MCPC training under the aegis of the Supreme Court of India — a material distinction for international disputes with Russian and Indian elements.
Real life demands advice beyond mere lawyerism. Multidisciplinary, international, and ready to go wherever circumstances require.
"He is inquisitive, analytical, intelligent and he has a very important sense of justice."

— Prof. Ineta Ziemele, RGSL and Lund University's RWI of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (2004); now Judge of the CJEU
"Illarion Girs is not a typical lawyer. He is not only into law, but into justice, and he is not only into words, but into truth."

— Alexander Bretz, Rechtsanwalt - Attorney-at-Law, Germany (2017)
