The essence of the conflict

An acute corporate conflict lasted for 5 years between family members - co-owners of a shopping center in Moscow.

During these 5 years, the business owners initiated 8 legal disputes on counterclaims, complicated by the exclusion of a co-owner from the company and the declaration of personal bankruptcy of one of the company's participants.

It was in the interests of our client to terminate all legal disputes, as well as to settle the “family” corporate conflict peacefully.

The Law Office Actions

To end the conflict and retain business, the Law Office developed a new litigation strategy.

1.
Significantly strengthened the position on the dispute on the exclusion of a participant, collected additional evidence
2.
Presented additional arguments and evidence in a personal bankruptcy case
3.
Worked through objections to the other party's claims for damages and to challenge the deal
4.
In all disputes, the necessary “pause” between court hearings for settlement has occurred
5.
Thus, the attorneys significantly strengthened the position of the principal in litigation. This made it possible to reach a new round of negotiations with the co-owners of the business

Result

1.
The Law Office's proactive action ended an acute 5-year corporate conflict in just 2 months.
2.
In addition, a settlement agreement was reached on terms favorable to the settlor and the family business was preserved.
