Dispute Resolution and Mediation
Of winning for our clients
The collision of the economic interests of different parties is one of the most daunting and complex problems in the provision of legal support for business. The person tasked with representing their client in court must have a deep and penetrating understanding not only of the legal aspects of dispute resolution, but also of the sector-specific nuances of the business at hand.
Dispute resolution and mediation is one of the firm’s core practice areas, focusing on work in those spheres where legal regulation can be both contradictory and problematic. The ART DE LEX team offers a full range of dispute-resolution services in the Russian courts, the courts of foreign jurisdiction and at international arbitration centers, inspiring the entry of precedent-setting decisions in many of the cases that they have handled. The practice’s attorneys have amassed successful experience representing the interests of the firm’s clients at the RF Supreme Court.
ART DE LEX deftly handles multifaceted and challenging litigation dealing with investment-, credit-, contract-, leasing- and mortgage-related legal relations, as well as corporate disputes and conflicts involving the recovery of stripped assets, including within the scope of standalone disputes under bankruptcy procedures.
ART DE LEX is recognized as a leader in the handling of complex economic disputes by the Pravo.Ru-300 ranking of the top law firms. The practice’s attorneys and jurists are recommended by the international rankings The Legal 500 and Best Lawyers.
Aside from defending the interests of our clients in court, we are also proficient at ironing out disagreements under out-of-court procedures. We consult and support our clients under mediation and always recommend seeking the pre-litigation resolution of disputes, particularly in the course of corporate conflicts, insofar as the existence of a conflict can take a toll on the company’s reputation, lead to the outflow of investments and provoke bankruptcy. With the aid of a mediator, the conflict can often be resolved confidentially and as advantageously as possible for all parties involved.
Our client list includes public and private banks, insurance and investment companies, industrial enterprises and businesses in the service sector, state corporations and construction holdings.
