FIG. 01 — IGOR KISTER, ATTORNEY

Law that holds up
in the real world.

I advise companies and individuals on matters that are rarely purely legal — but usually also economic, operational, and personal. Clarity matters more to me than formal elegance; negotiable contracts more than intimidating clause towers.
As in-house counsel at an international automotive supplier, I know the world from inside a company. Contract negotiations, compliance, insurance management — I lived these tasks every day. That perspective flows into my work: advice that doesn't just list risks but prioritizes them, and communication that cuts through the noise.
Clarity over jargon
Prioritize risk, don't catalogue it
