Sergey's articles on some issues of tax law have received an acknowledgment of the Year's Best Article by such editions as "Chief Accountant" and "Economics and Life – Lawyer".

Apart from litigating tax cases before Russian courts, Sergey acts as taxpayers' representative in the course of tax audits and other tax control activities undertaken by tax authorities; he as well represents taxpayers at a pre-judicial stage of challenging tax authorities' actions (inactions) when taxpayers bring appeals before higher tax authorities. His effective assistance to taxpayers at the pre-judicial stage has resulted in field tax audits ending up with zero or insignificant claims raised by tax authorities in a number of instances.

I would like to thank Genuine Arbitration Service Ltd. for their priceless assistance in an arbitration administered by the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
