Our victories

The lawyers of Pepeliaev Group’s customs practice have successfully completed a project that involved protecting the interests of our client, a major Russian shipping company, before the Russian Supreme Court's Judicial Panel for Economic Disputes. 
A major Russian shipping company specialising in sea transportation of hydrocarbons instructed us to assist it in obtaining official clarifications of the Russian Ministry of Finance on whether it was required to obtain the customs authority’s permission and perform customs transactions in the situation as follows. 
Lawyers of Pepeliaev Group’s Customs Law Practice have won a litigation which started on 24 November 2020 (case No. А51-18513/2020). This case was instigated by the Vladivostok Customs Office, which filed with a state commercial court a claim to recover import customs duties and default interest of over RUB 1.7 billion in total because this sum included the cost of a business aircraft.
IP lawyers at Pepeliaev Group successfully safeguarded the interests of our client, a leading manufacturer of children's clothing, in a dispute over a trademark infringement.
