Ternir Group is a unique network of lawyers, accountants, and strategic market experts who collaborate to provide comprehensive and effective services to clients across more than 31 jurisdictions. Our founder, Anthony V. Raftopol, started as a single independent lawyer in the Netherlands, leveraging his on-the-ground knowledge of the local markets to build a network of independent premium law firms, single established lawyers, and financial investment experts.
At Ternir Group, we pride ourselves on our distinctive structure and approach to clients. All of our law firms are indigenous and independent, which gives us a significant advantage in understanding local business and culture. Our focus on local expertise allows us to provide our clients with tailored solutions that meet their unique needs.
One of our key strengths is our ability to work seamlessly with a multitude of firms and independent professionals, each with different terms, policies, and strategic orientations. Despite these differences, we ensure that the final result for the client is always of the highest standards and in a unified manner. Our team acts as the interface between different cultures, languages, and business mentalities, aligning them into one voice and one highly sophisticated business language. This approach has made us a one-stop shop for the needs of our clients.
Whether you are seeking assistance with cross-border transactions, regulatory issues, or general legal advice, our team has the knowledge and expertise necessary to provide you with the guidance and support you need to achieve your goals. We are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality services and building long-term partnerships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect. At Ternir Group, we strive to be the partner of choice for businesses looking to navigate the complex and ever-changing global marketplace.
WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE WORLD’S MOST SOPHISTICATED BUSINESSES ON MARKET-LEADING TRANSACTIONS
We are a network of lawyers, accountants, and strategic market experts whose value proposition is to forge well-managed, locally focused, and cost-effective market-entry and operations solutions on behalf of clients doing business in one or more of the countries of Eastern Europe and the MENA (Middle East/North Africa) region.
Our core strength is to combine internationally trained and experienced teams coupled with local talent to forge in-country networks, establish a corporate and operational presence, as well as assist our clients to navigate the vagaries of local bureaucracies and their related decision-making ecosystems.
To that end, we are focused on making sure that our clients have the support required to prosper within the context of legal, business, and cultural environments that are often quite different from those at home.
