Successfully settled a dispute at the pre-trial stage: the works have been completed, and the financial claims have been withdrawn
The Practice’s lawyers represented an international company, which provides engineering services in the area of oil extraction, in a dispute with a major Russian oil company. The parties had mutual claims: in the client’s opinion its opponent had not paid in full for services supplied; therefore the counterparty accused our client of having not performed the work. The dispute gave rise to litigation proceedings the outcome of which could have been that the client lost its equipment and access to the necessary technologies. Owing to the efforts of Pepeliaev Group’s lawyers and our successful negotiations with the defendant, the conflict was settled: the works that were commissioned have been completed and financial claims have been withdrawn.
