• Support of the restructuring with an additional issue of shares of a major Canadian IT company. The project was implemented in cross-support with Canadian advisers and application of Canadian and Russian law. In the course of the project, documentation was prepared on incorporation of a new holding company into the shareholders’ structure, and the tax consequences of dividend distribution were assessed.
• Establishment of a joint (Russian-Indian) industrial venture in India with an initial investment of $10 million. In the course of the project, a corporate structure was established, tax and corporate aspects were worked out, and corporate relations between Russian and Indian partners were established. In the course of the project, the advisers provided support in negotiating and establishing agreements between the parties on a balanced corporate governance system.
• Support for obtaining authorization from the Government Commission on Monitoring Foreign Investment in the Russian Federation for the sale and purchase of an interest in a major international computer hardware and software trading company to Russian top management.
• Defense of the interests of an employer - a well-known multinational company, one of the world's largest producers of everyday goods - against an employee claiming to recognize the fact of acquiring an occupational disease, to establish the fact of an industrial accident and to recover moral damages.
• Successful support of a subcontractor dispute on recovery of a debt from an Italian company, during which it was possible to prove the exclusive jurisdiction of the Russian court in accordance with Article 248.1 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, despite the arbitration clause established by the parties to transfer all disputes to the ICC (Paris) and the applicable Belarusian law.
• Successful comprehensive support for more than 15 disputes over debt recovery totaling more than 300 million rubles from a large Russian state-owned company under construction contracts in pursuance of government defense orders. The adviser succeeded in proving that a suspensive condition on payment for work until the general contractor receives money from the customer, a state defense company, does not have the characteristics of enforceability. Upon the request of the bona fide party, the condition may be deemed as either having occurred or not occurred (Article 157 of the Russian Civil Code).
• Successful support of a dispute on recovery of unjust enrichment in the amount of over 80 million rubles from a Russian foundry in favor of an international company manufacturing pumping equipment. The adviser succeeded in proving that the purchasing plant had committed a material breach of the supply agreement, which resulted in the plant incurring debts in the form of unpaid equipment, penalties and interest totaling more than 100 million rubles.
• Successful representation of a client, a mineral fertilizer manufacturer, who suffered damage as a result of the lessee's violation of fire safety rules and regulations on the storage of hazardous chemicals. The client leased non-residential premises to a company selling chemicals (acids), which used the leased premises to store its products. As a result of a number of violations on the part of the lessee (using and leaving unattended heating devices, joint storage of fire-hazardous and self-flammable substances), a fire broke out in the rented premises. Lawyers from the dispute resolution practice at Sudohod managed to prove the lessee’s fault in causing the fire under conditions of alternative causality and succeeded in recovering damages from the lessee in the amount of the cost of restorative repairs to the building.
• Successful defense of a top manager's interests in a litigation to challenge an illegally imposed disciplinary sanction against the employer being a well-known international pharmaceutical company. The adviser managed to prove not only that the disciplinary sanction was imposed illegally and unreasonably in order to induce the top manager to resign from the company due to a labour conflict with the employer, but also that, in the course of the litigation, the employer had fabricated a document on the full payment of the bonus to the employee.
