The Russian Legal Tournament is a large-scale annual national competition for students from across the country, organized in partnership with The Presidential Academy and Moscow State University. It was founded in 2019, and has been running for over five years. During that time, more than a thousand participants from thirty Russian cities have taken part in the tournament.

The Russian Legal Tournament was created to increase the level of professional skills of novice lawyers and to develop legal science and practice in Russia. It provides a unique opportunity for participants to meet experienced lawyers, receive feedback from them and share experiences, as well as establish contacts for future collaboration.

The Law Office provides organizational and financial support to the scientific and educational journal "Academy of Law", which is part of the journals of the Legal House «Yustitsinform». The publication covers current issues of public and private law, and is aimed at students and young scientists.

Andrey Kozlov, Managing Partner of the Law Office, is the managing editor. Andrey selects articles, suggests additions and adjustments to improve the quality of research papers published in the publication.

The RussianLegal Law Office regularly conducts courses and seminars as part of its specialized expertise. In 2023, the Law Office conducted the "Corporate Documents" course for graduate students of the RANEPA Graduate School of Law.

The "Drafting school" is a project aimed at teaching young lawyers the skills necessary for practical work.

In 2022, the "Drafting school" was launched jointly with the MSU Science Valley, an innovation cluster of Moscow University. The first set of the educational project was free. Everyone had the opportunity to master professional skills in the field of time management, learn the basics of public speaking and business correspondence, as well as drafting commercial contracts and court documents.

In December 2024, the RussianLegal Law Office entered into a cooperation agreement with the Presidential Academy and organized a joint course on "Corporate Disputes" for undergraduate and graduate students of the Practical Jurisprudence and Economic Justice program at the RANEPA Graduate School of Law.

The developed course is based on the students' analysis of the case, which maximally covers the issues that arise in the practice of a lawyer who accompanies corporate disputes. The main focus is on improving the quality of students' preparation of judicial and other documents in the framework of arbitration of corporate disputes. This is achieved by students developing draft documents, reviewing them in the classroom, and providing examples and recommendations by the Law Office's lawyers based on many years of experience in handling similar disputes.
