Lawyers just cannot practice law in a foreign country. It's as simple as that. An American or Canadian lawyer has no business coaching his Russian counterparts, because the law in Russia is different from that in America and elsewhere. I can't think of a single case in the Philippines wherein a foreign lawyer defended a plaintiff or defendant. International lawyers can only represent clients in two world courts: 1)International Court of Justice (for settling disputes involving states); and 2) International Criminal Court (for prosecuting individuals who commit genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression).
