About Us

RST International is a collaborative partnership of Jonathan Russin, Managing Partner, Russin & Vecchi law firm, Leonid Sevastianov, Partner, Stratinvestru and Tom Thomson, President, T. Thomson & Associates.  We provide consulting services to assist American and Russian companies and FDIs to realize investment and business expansion opportunities in Russia and in the United States.  We believe commercial engagement between Russia and the United States is critical to expanding trade and investment and to building mutual understanding and cooperation between our countries. 

Having a comprehensive strategy with contingencies to manage potential problems and risks is crucial to success in business.  Our team of experienced advisors and professionals in business, law, finance, government relations, media and investor communications can advise and develop strategies to successfully enter or expand in the U.S. or Russian marketplaces.  

The American and Russian principals of RST International together have more than 50 years of business experience in Russia, the United States and in several other developed and emerging economies.  Our in-depth understanding of the political, economic and business dynamics and decision-makers shaping the Russian and U.S. marketplaces allows us to assist clients to develop sound business strategies for managing growth, potential problems and exposures, and to succeed. 

RST International is able to provide a comprehensive approach to addressing a client’s business challenges and opportunities through our principals and network of consultants in Russia and the United States.  Our ability to use these resources effectively to achieve a client’s goals is central to our strategic approach.

While committed to maintaining confidentiality on all client matters, RST International is equally committed to transparency and ethical business practices.  We place the value of our reputation on the same level as our clients.  Our relationships to clients and strategic partners are conducted at the highest level of professionalism and ethical behavior.
