Services on judicial representation in cassation instance in a case that was lost in all instances by other lawyers. The project's significance is that as a result of provided legal assistance we managed to delay collection of 331 mln rubles from the Client for more than a year, as we managed to get two suspensions of court judgments in court. Also, Elena managed to get the RF Supreme Court to cancel judicial acts on collection of 331 mln rubles from the Client and to collect 189 mln rubles for the Client during new examination, and later to conclude an amicable agreement with the opponent.
Recovery of compensation for infringement of exclusive rights to trademarks under the RF certificates from the opponent. In a new hearing of the case RI-consulting achieved satisfaction of the Plaintiff's claims and recovered compensation for the violation of exclusive rights to trademarks in full. The Client's objective has been achieved, the claims for compensation for infringement of exclusive rights to trademarks owned by the Client have been satisfied.
• Represented defendant (Contractor) in litigation against LLC (the Client) seeking recovery of 42.5 million rubles in debt and 69.2 million rubles in penalty for construction and installation works under Moscow - St. Petersburg highway section at the last hearing before the court of first instance. The Client was denied the claim and the appeal left the decision unchanged. The project is very important for the Client's industry, because in practice, unfortunately, customers quite often refuse to pay for work performed by contractors, and make it difficult to recover money in all possible ways. A unique feature of the project is also the fact that the Client deliberately signed the acts of work acceptance by an unauthorized person. In the court of first instance, he stated the expertise on disputing the signatures, which found that the signatures were not made by the General Director of the Client. Only at the stage of cassation appeal RI-Consulting succeeded in having such behavior recognized as bad faith, which, among other things, resulted in cancellation of judicial acts and sending the case for a new trial to the Arbitration Court of Moscow.
• Legal assistance in a court dispute over a claim of LLC against Client for recovery of unjust enrichment.
