a word from our founder

Welcome to MIS boutique legal firm.

I am the founder and managing partner.

I have always believed that the essence of law is to help, and this is why I chose it as my profession. After over a decade of experience, I built MIS boutique legal firm based on this pillar, gathering a team that shares similar values. Acting as your shadow throughout your business journey, we provide you with thorough, efficient and effective legal support every step of the way to success.

In a rapidly growing and constantly changing environment, there are great opportunities and challenging obstacles, and your ability to navigate both will make all the difference for your business. And that's where we come in!
