The VEGAS LEX law firm officially elected two new partners on July 2, 2015, head of the bankruptcy team Alexander Vyazovik and Head of the Energy Projects Practice Evgeniy Rodin. 

“We are proud to have such top-level experts and experienced practicing lawyers on our team,” Managing Partner Alexander Sitnikov said. “They have helped our clients more than once to achieve success in most complicated projects and win disputes. Alexander Vyazovik has been with us for over ten years, a model of stability and integrity and a source of unflagging positive energy. Over the past seven years of working for VEGAS LEX, Evgeniy Rodin has emerged as one of the best known lawyers in the field of energy, not only for working out new law enforcement practices (such as first notice on competition abuse in the energy sector under the 135-FZ law or a superior court involvement) or new approaches to the industry regulation, but also for his charisma noted by everyone he comes across in his professional activity. We believe these two appointments are logical and timely moves.”

Mr. Vyazovik specializes in supporting bankruptcy projects while also supervising the operation of the company’s Volga Directorate. He is often involved in interregional land-related projects and has extensive experience in acting in complicated tax disputes.

Mr. Vyazovik’s professional expertise is annually recognized by major international rating agencies, including The Legal 500 EMEA in the Tax category and Best Lawyers in the Land Management practice area.

“Over my time with VEGAS LEX, I was lucky to witness and contribute to the firm’s growth,” Mr. Vyazovik said commenting on his appointment. “Just like years ago, VEGAS LEX is a team of highly effective professionals taking on most ambitious goals. I am therefore greatly honored to become a Partner.”

Evgeniy Rodin is an expert in anti-monopoly and tariff regulation in the energy sector; he provides comprehensive legal consultancy on specific industry issues, advises companies on their operation on the wholesale and retail electricity markets and defends their interests in commercial courts in various regions of Russia.

“I am very grateful to the VEGAS LEX Partners’ Council; I do appreciate their choice and their trust,” Mr. Rodin said. “I am confident that my experience with supporting projects in the heat and power generation industry will help the company further expand its competence in this sphere.”

The new appointments are aimed at implementing VEGAS LEX’s strategy and will contribute to attaining its development goals and consolidate its industry practices.
