19 April 2021	Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Arbitral Awards In Russia – Remarkable Cases Of 2019-2020 <p> </p> <p> Despite a large number of disputes involving Russian entities that are complicated by the presence of a foreign party, the practice of recognizing and enforcing international commercial arbitration decisions in Russia is not always consistent. <span style="font-size: 14px;">This is especially true for cases where the other party (against whom a decision is rendered) alleges that the enforcement of the decision is in contradiction to public policy. This argument is the most common defence strategy, although the least predictable in terms of the court’s findings.</span> </p> <p> Readers are offered an overview of a number of interesting court cases for 2019–2020, which contain conclusions that are significant for practice formation. </p> <p> </p> Alexander Sitnikov, Managing partner Diana Bolevich, Associate, International Projects Group Khati Abdurakhmanova, Associate of Tax practice * * I hereby give my consent for the processing of my personal dataAgreement Send

28 August 2023	Dmitriy Motorin for Revista Direito GV: A new legal concept for understanding the essence of production and consumption waste: a view from Russia <p> </p> <p> Recently, production and consumption waste has been recognized as a distinct legal category in the environmental law of the Russian Federation. This regulatory category has been changed several times within a short period. The study evidences that these changes were ontological, resulting from a change in approach to the distinction of waste from other results of economic activity. In practice, these changes introduced new characteristics into the concept of waste, each of which is related to one of the approaches to understanding the essence of waste identified by the authors of the article. The article reveals handicaps of earlier and contemporary approaches to understanding the legal essence of waste in Russia. </p> <p> Based on the results of the study, a new subjective approach is proposed. This approach can serve as a starting point for shaping a new conceptual understanding of waste able to improve environmental law and promote quality enforcement.<br> </p> <p> </p> Dmitriy Motorin, Project Manager of the Environmental Division Revista Direito GV * * I hereby give my consent for the processing of my personal dataAgreement Send

19 May 2021	Anastasia Cheredova for CEE Legal Matters magazine: Pleading and Proof of Foreign Law in Commercial State Courts Generally, the responsibility for interpreting foreign laws lies with the state commercial court. Parties have a right, but are not obliged to, render assistance and provide the court with information concerning statutory provisions of foreign laws. However, if the content of the foreign law is not ascertained with reasonable expediency, Russian law applies. Anastasia Cheredova, Head of the Special Projects Group, clarified the European magazine 'CEE Legal Matters' on the Russian approach to the nature of foreign law, methods of proof, as well as pitfalls that parties may face.

5 February 2021	Anastasia Cheredova for CEE Legal Matters magazine: Sanctions-Related Amendments in Russian Commercial Procedure As of June 19, 2020, Russian arbitrazh (commercial) courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear certain cases related to “anti-Russian” sanctions. Affected legal entities and individuals may also apply for anti-suit injunctions in an attempt to prevent counterparties from pursuing claims abroad. Recent cases show that these new entitlements are not as favorable as once thought. * * I hereby give my consent for the processing of my personal dataAgreement Send
27 July 2020	Bankruptcy payments circulation. Yugra’s bankruptcy assets have been increased under a special scheme <p style="text-align: justify;"> The record amount of RUB 1.4 bn has been included in the bankruptcy assets of the bank “Yugra”, which goes bankrupt. It has been contributed by companies affiliated with Alexey Khotin, the ex-owner of Yugra, for repayment of overdue loans of several debtors of the bank. However, the State Deposit Insurance Agency (SDIA) cannot spend money on payments to depositors: the companies, whose loans have been repaid, are themselves close to bankruptcy, and the bank is merely one of creditors. The lawyers point out that the application of these funds by SDIA may be challenged. Stanislav Shibulkin is commenting on it. </p> Kommersant * * I hereby give my consent for the processing of my personal dataAgreement Send

28 April 2015	Exclusion from the register of unfair suppliers: analysis of judicial practice In the current economic situation, many companies are interested in participating in state procurement contests and in procurement tenders of individual legal entities, thus ensuring a certain level of economic stability for themselves. However, the opportunities for participation in such tenders are significantly reduced if company’s name ends up being listed in one of the registers of unscrupulous suppliers, since in their tender documentation, most customers include a requirement that participants in the tender should not be listed in the Register.
