Split between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Ivanyan and Partners’ insolvency group brings together the expertise of domestic dispute resolution and international commercial litigation practitioners. The team has extensive experience in debt recovery matters, including cross-border asset tracing mandates. Another particular strength lies in developing defence strategies in bankruptcy cases; the group traditionally acts for both creditors and debtors. St. Petersburg-based Alexey Kozyakov is a key contact.

The experience of Ivanyan and Partners encompasses disputes arising out of insolvency, cross-border and domestic asset tracing and debt recovery, and property issues. It is also widely known for its representation of large domestic clients including Gazprombank and Severstal. Another demonstrable strength of the team lies in the contentious IP and competition space. Sergey Chuprygin and St. Petersburg-based Alexey Kozyakov jointly lead the domestic dispute resolution group. Anna Kim is also a key practitioner in St. Petersburg.

The ‘highly competent and qualified’ cross-practice team at Ivanyan and Partners focuses on property investment transactions and the related contentious issues. It also has significant expertise in infrastructure development and industrial construction projects. Alexey Kozyakov and counsel Aleksandr Milosavlevich lead the practice, where Sergei Kushnarenko and recently promoted counsel Vasily Papkin are also noted.
