Sergey Smolin

About employee
Sergey has over 16 years of experience in legal practice, including over 5 years of working with citizenship-by-investment programmes and other immigration solutions. Prior to joining UPPERCASE Legal, he provided comprehensive support and advice to HNWI and UHNWI clients on obtaining investment citizenship of Montenegro, Caribbean countries, Vanuatu, Turkey, Egypt, as well as other citizenships of European countries and South American countries, as well as supported clients on European Golden Visa programmes and other residence permit formats in Europe, including arranging study visas for children, educational grants, individual insurance solutions for families and many others.

Under Sergey's guidance, we have implemented complex tax planning projects with the use of migration tools: detailed analysis of the client's business structure and sources of income in various jurisdictions, based on the results of which the most suitable countries for relocation, starting a business or obtaining tax residency were suggested in order to optimise the international tax burden.

Under his guidance, more than 200 families have successfully completed the entire process of obtaining investment citizenship - from preparation of documents to obtaining tax residency. Sergey's expertise covers not only immigration matters, but also investment transaction support, structuring of foreign property transactions, coordination of international teams, as well as interaction with local agents and government agencies.


Sergey graduated from the Saratov State Academy of Law and is fluent in English.

In his free time he enjoys hiking and yachting.
