Develop and implement a strategy following the introduction of temporary management under Decree No. 302.

We assessed a range of scenarios and advised on the sale of the Russian assets, securing the foreign investor’s full exit while the business was under temporary management pursuant to Decree No. 302 and the investor no longer had corporate control.

The transaction closed in compliance with all regulatory requirements. The client completed its full exit from the Russian business.

Restore the rights of a university lecturer dismissed immediately after successfully completing a competitive selection process. The claims had been dismissed at first instance, on appeal and in cassation.

Following the ruling that Article 332(9) of the Russian Labour Code was unconstitutional, we applied for compensatory relief. We secured a decision establishing that such relief serves both as an incentive to pursue legal remedies and as meaningful compensation for the rights infringed. In employment disputes, the amount may be calculated by reference to average earnings.

The court awarded compensation proportionate to the infringement. The decision was upheld on appeal and in cassation, and the compensation was paid. This was the first known application of this approach.

Defend a construction contract against challenge in bankruptcy proceedings.
