Law firm Pepeliaev Group is pleased to offer its clients a new escrow agent service. Escrow is a globally recognised legal mechanism. It involves an escrow agent, a third party, holding money or property for contracting parties when, for instance, there is a deferral of payment under a contract or of a transfer of ownership title to the item that is being acquired. The escrow agent keeps the property under a contract and then transfers it to either party as long as certain conditions are met. 

Natalia Prisekina, Partner, Head of the Far East Office of Pepeliaev Group, has been appointed an arbitrator of the Harbin Arbitration Commission for a term of five years.

Pepeliaev Group announces the opening of its own office in Vladivostok. The team at the new office will provide the whole range of legal services in the Far East region. 

On 4 October in Limassol a conference took place which was dedicated to the topic: “Cyprus-Russia: the end of the relationship or a new affair? Practical examples of preventing tax disputes”. The conference was jointly organised by Pepeliaev Group and Eurofast. 

Our team of lawyers successfully safeguarded the interests of Mucos Pharma CZ (a foreign pharmaceutical company that is a global leader in distribution of enzyme therapy products in Europe, the CIS countries and Russia) in a dispute with a major Russian insurance company. An issue was the recovery of an insurance payout under an insurance agreement along with interest for the use of another party's funds.
