Amongst civil law disputes corporate litigations should also be noted; as far as the latter are concerned we represent clients inter alia in:

— » disputes related to challenges of corporate management's decisions;
— » disputes concerning the creation, re-organisation and liquidation of a legal entity;
— » disputes concerning the ownership of stocks, shares, charges upon them;
— » disputes regarding claims, raised by founders, participants and members of a legal entity for damages caused to a legal entity, for the invalidation of transactions, made by legal entities;
— » disputes concerning the appointment or election, termination or suspension of powers and the liability of persons, who are or have been members of management or control bodies of a legal entity;
— » disputes arising out of corporate agreements;
— » disputes concerning the convocation of a general meeting of a legal entity's participants (shareholders).

By way of illustration of our experience in corporate litigations the reference can be made to a large number of cases where our lawyers represented a big Russian gas company before various commercial courts in disputes aimed at preventing the so-called “unfriendly acquisition” of real estate objects belonged to the said company. Such disputes mainly related to the powers of CEOs to act on behalf of different corporations involved, the validity of resolutions issued by the companies’ management bodies and the validity of major transactions.
