Pepeliaev Group Impresses in the IFLR 1000

The annual international IFLR 1000 ratings have named Pepeliaev Group among the top firms for legal support on restructuring and bankruptcy projects (Tier 3). Though much of the firm’s work remains confidential, there are a few matters, which are public knowledge. One example is advising a former shareholder and the CEO of Sitronics during an application for subsidiary liability to be imposed on them in the context of the bankruptcy case of ZAO Digital Electronics.

Pepeliaev Group has also achieved noteworthy results in banking and financial law. This is how clients see the work of our banking team: “They are able to deliver an extremely professional approach. And the best part of it is that it is both time and cost efficient.”

The firm has been recommended in M&A transactions. Clients note: "The key reasons for our satisfaction were that their pricing was reasonable and their service reports transparent. They worked with us flexibly and adjusted their role and their input to our requirements. They had a constructive attitude towards the counterparty's legal advisor and this helped to resolve open issues. In addition their turnaround time was very good, they met all the agreed deadlines, their legal advice was reliable and convincing. The large number of lawyers on their staff also means that they were able to provide full service support from tax, to finance and M&A."

For several years in a row now, the compilers of the ratings have recommended the Head of our Offshore Projects and PSA Group Pavel Kondukov as a foremost specialist in the energy and infrastructure sector.

Pepeliaev Group has also been recommended for its legal advisory work in project financing, mining and debt-recovery litigation work.
