Our advantages include our team’s qualifications, experience and practical knowledge. This is important at all stages of the transaction, from the analysis of an asset to the registration of rights.

We will help eliminate risks of unfair actions of counterparty and complete the transaction within previously agreed parameters, including, in cases where the situation unfolds unexpectedly.

Bankruptcy of legal entities

Bankruptcy of legal entities is a specific and complex procedure. It provides multiple opportunities, but it can also result in serious losses if misused

The bankruptcy procedure can be used:

• by debtors who find themselves in a difficult situation and are forced to apply for legal protection
• by creditors who wish to recover debts

Bankruptcy can become both an effective tool for improving business or recovering debts and lead to significant consequences, including criminal prosecution of the debtor’s beneficiaries and managers and foreclosure on their property.

Bankruptcy can be used by unfaithful debtors to abandon their obligations and avoid liability or by unfaithful creditors to take over the business.

You may be opposed in your bankruptcy proceedings by specialized companies that use established legal and legitimate methods, in which case special knowledge and qualifications are required to get protected against them.

Bankruptcy is a formalized and long-term procedure. The price of an error in this procedure is high, thus experience is important.

• a strategic approach: our experience allows us to select the most effective strategy for achieving your goals, anticipate consequences, factor in all possible actions of opponents and effectively counter them
• a complex approach: coordination of actions of lawyers, receivers, appraisers, attorneys and law enforcement bodies
• a situational approach: our ability to think flexibly, apply non-standard solutions and be proactive

Legal protection of investors in the field of blockchain technologies

Blockchain technology is widely used now.

However, legislative support for Blockchain-based processes lags behind. Let alone law enforcement and judicial practice which has not been established at all.

On the one hand, this provides more freedom and opportunities for investors, on the other hand, creates risks connected, inter alia, with the uncertain legal status of such investments and their taxation. Moreover, the lack of legislative regulation complicates the process of protecting investments against unfair actions.

Our specialists will help

• identify opportunities and an acceptable degree of risk when making transactions using Blockchain technology
• develop an investment process scheme
• initiate a procedure for the protection of interests, in case you are in a difficult situation
