Buzko Krasnov: Law Firm in Telegram

A startup needs a contract, and hiring a lawyer for one document feels expensive. Or the problem is serious and a consultation is unavoidable. Buzko Krasnov put the usual first steps of working with a lawyer into Telegram. ⚖️

This is the official mini app of the law firm. You can download templates, book a consultation and look through open positions.

Three sections you reach for first

• Templates. Ready documents you can download and use as a starting point.
• Consultations. Book a conversation with a specialist without a long email chain.
• Open positions. A list of roles for people who want to work at the firm.

The bot menu has two commands: /support takes you to the support team and /terms shows the terms of use. 📄

What the firm does

Buzko Krasnov works on corporate transactions, disputes and technology regulation. Its practice areas include intellectual property, litigation, startups and venture capital, plus the crypto industry and web3 projects.

The firm says it was founded in 2015 and advises on US law. It also states that it does not handle labor law, personal data or personal taxes. That is worth knowing early, so you do not book a slot for a question it will not take.

When a template fits and when it does not

A template saves time on a standard task such as a simple confidentiality agreement, user terms or a basic contract. You get the structure and see which sections are needed.

A legal document only works together with your facts, though. Laws differ by country, and a template for one jurisdiction may fail in another. If money, product rights or company shares depend on the contract, let a lawyer read it. 🔍

Preparing for a consultation

1. Describe the issue in two or three sentences: what happened and what you want to achieve.
2. Gather documents: contracts, correspondence, registration papers.
3. Write down dates. A signing date or a filing deadline often matters more than the details.
4. Ask in advance how the consultation is billed and what it covers.

The more specific you arrive, the more value you get from the time. 🗂️

Sharing sensitive data with a lawyer

Avoid sending passwords, card numbers and scans of documents through a messenger unless you must. For confidential material, ask the firm which channel it considers safe.

If someone writes to you first in the firm's name and asks for a money transfer, stop. Verify the request through the firm's official contacts or the support section of the app. 🛡️

Joining the team

The open positions section is for people who want to work at the firm. Prepare a resume and a short note that links your experience to the firm's practice areas before you apply.
