In November 2004, attorneys from the Southern Regional Division of Vegas-Lex represented Novocherkasskneftemash JSC in an appeal against the Russian Federal Pension Fund Department for Rostov Province.  The Firm provided legal and consulting support for a lawsuit seeking a declaration that the duty to pay penalties on mandatory contributions to the Russian Federal Pension Fund had been fulfilled.  At trial and on appeal, the Arbitration Court of Rostov Province dismissed the claims by Novocherkasskneftemash JSC (the client represented itself).  On subsequent appeal, the arguments made by Vegas-Lex attorneys led to a reversal of these decisions, and the case was remanded for a new trial.
