Our victories

Our Bankruptcy and Anti-crisis Protection of Business Practice has proved the lawful nature of a fiduciary management contract that has been challenged by the debtor’s receiver on the ground that the management company has overstated the service fee and expenses.
A team of lawyers from Pepeliaev Group has protected the interests of its client, a major production company, in a precedent-setting case where the key question was about the direct effect of articles 24, 29 and 55 of the Russian Constitution. At the same time, the state authority (the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia (“FAS”)) insisted that the constitutional right to receive information could not be exercised, because the information did not violate the rights of the claimant and also because neither the sector-based legislation nor the state authority’s internal regulations set out how the state authority had to provide such information.
Advised on how to structure the hiring of foreign employees in a company and its structural subdivisions. 
We obtained quotas and permits to hire foreign employees, and had permission documents issued for foreign employees and their family members.
Our lawyers supported our client’s transaction to acquire a number of works of contemporary art, including advice on the tax and customs aspects of the transaction, and drafting agreements for the sale and purchase of works of art under Russian law.
