“For more than six years Mr. Trukhanov has been a valuable asset in our team, and it has been a pleasure working with him,” Managing partner Alexander Sitnikov said. “We have successfully implemented projects that contributed to the development of Russian law enforcement – such as banking sector disputes, including the Supreme Commercial Court’s case decisions on bank guarantees, a major restructuring of the private pension fund that involved disputes on trust management of pension reserves, the recovery of corporate control over the assets of an oil company, and many others. He has earned the confidence of Russian and foreign clients by demonstrating professionalism and originality of thought in solving complex problems, and will continue to defend our clients’ legal interests in his new status.”

Kirill Trukhanov specializes in commercial disputes in courts across the Russian Federation and international arbitration cases; he is an expert in combating corporate fraud. His professional expertise has been recognized by leading international rating agencies, including The Legal 500 EMEA in 2014 and 2015 (Dispute Resolution), Chambers Europe 2014 and 2015 (Dispute Resolution), Chambers Global 2014 and 2015 (Dispute Resolution) and Best Lawyers 2014 and 2015 (Litigation).
