Natalia Gulyaeva, a Hogan Lovells partner, heads the firm’s IP, Media and Technology Practice Group, and the Life Sciences Practice Group for Russia/Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Natalia has a wealth of experience working with clients in the high tech, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology fields. Her diverse practice encompasses portfolio management, dispute resolution, and transactional work. Natalia is praised by peers and clients for “her business sense and clear management style,” is defined as “creative, flexible, and able to guide clients through the specifics of the Russian market,” and a “tough and focused attorney”.

Clients compliment Natalia for her ability to see legal matters from an in-house counsel perspective. She is well-known for a chain of victories in IP disputes before the Russian courts. She is equally creative and successful in handling complex disputes between international and domestic corporations in Russia and other CIS countries, and for coordinating multi-jurisdictional dispute resolution (including litigation and arbitration). Natalia is admitted to represent clients before the Russian Patent and Trademark Office, and enjoys rights of audience in the Chamber for Patent and Trademark Disputes, and Russian courts.

In addition to her qualification as a Russian lawyer, she is admitted as an English solicitor. She is widely published, and is a regular speaker at high-profile conferences including MIP, ABA, IAPP and INTA. Natalia's team has received several WORLDLeaders International Awards for their work in IP litigation and transactional matters in Russia/CIS. Natalia is the winner of 2015 and 2016 “Client Choice Award” and 2015 Euromoney's Women in Business Law Award.
