FBK Legal is a partner of the annual competition “The DEPARTMENT. Russia’s Best Legal Departments” organised by Legal Insight journal.

Victoria Arutyunyan, Partner at FBK Legal, has joined the competition’s expert council.

On 20 March 2025, Victoria took part in an event marking the launch of the contest. In her speech, she focused on what unites last year's winning submissions in the category “Effective collaboration with business units within the company” and outlined the evaluation criteria for this year’s works.

Victoria noted the importance of aligning the strategy of business with that of the legal department when it comes to submissions; describing the end-to-end collaboration process between lawyers and their internal clients; providing measurable results of business interaction tools implemented by lawyers, as well as detailing the feedback system on legal support and its reflection on the motivation of lawyers.
