About Karina
Karina Krasnova trained in two legal traditions. She began legal studies at the Law Academy of Ukraine in 1990 and received a B.A. in 1994. She continued her education at the Law Faculty of Saint Petersburg State University, where she completed an M.A. in 1997.
Her early working life was in and around the courts. In 1991 she served as a courier and as a court bailiff at a district court in Kharkov, Ukraine. Those roles put her into day-to-day contact with court procedures and the practical side of case handling. After moving to Saint Petersburg, she worked as a clerk at the Federal District Court in 1994, furthering her exposure to judicial operations and procedural practice.
Krasnova moved into private practice and bar-affiliated roles after that foundational period. She joined the Saint Petersburg Bar Association as a lawyer in 1998. The record then shows her working as a Russian lawyer at the Law Office "Russian-Divorce" beginning in 2008. That office is listed as her professional base in later years.
Alongside her employment history, Krasnova completed professional retraining through a special faculty on jurisprudence at the School of Legal Profession of Saint Petersburg State University. She also holds a certification listed as Legal Consultant from the New York State Supreme Court. Those credentials indicate continued attention to formal legal education beyond initial degrees.
Her career path traces a consistent practical arc: court support roles in her early years, a clerkship at a federal court, formal entry into the bar, and long-term practice at a law office whose name signals work in marital and family disputes. The progression is straightforward and rooted in courtroom experience and in-service legal training.
As of 2026, Krasnova practices at Russian-Divorce in Saint Petersburg. Her work there centers on family law and divorce matters under Russian law.
