Mr Sergey Petrachkov > ALRUD Law Firm > Moscow, Russia > Lawyer Profile

ALRUD Law Firm acts for leading domestic and international clients on the full scope of contentious and non-contentious competition law issues. The department is noted for its recent work on high-value merger control issues and complex competition litigation. Team co-head Vassily Rudomino is praised for his extensive experience in enforcement matters, and the wider team has strength in the regulatory space, where it benefits from the experience of co-head German Zakharov at the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). Associate Roman Vedernikov works alongside Zakharov and is recommended for compliance work, while co-head Sergey Petrachkov is a key contact for contentious matters. As a new arrival from the FAS, Daniil Lozovsky handles cartel-related matters.

The large dispute resolution team at ALRUD Law Firm advises clients on restructuring and insolvency matters. The team’s industry-specific expertise attracts a growing number of clients in the financial services, oil and gas and automotive industries. Sergey Petrachkov leads the restructuring team, where litigator and recently promoted partner Magomed Gasanov, banking law specialist Anton Dzhuplin and founding partner Vassily Rudomino are all key names to note.

ALRUD Law Firm’s growing white-collar crime, compliance and investigations department adopts a multidisciplinary approach to advising individual and corporate clients across a wide range of sectors including the oil and gas, consumer goods, retail, transport and chemicals industries. The team focuses on matters relating to regulatory enforcement issues, investigations, corruption work and corporate crime. Recently promoted partner Magomed Gasanov heads up the practice, which counts dispute resolution practice head Sergey Petrachkov as a key figure. Associate Alexander Mikhailov is a notable new arrival, whose expertise significantly bolsters the firm’s expertise in criminal investigations.

ALRUD Law Firm focuses on general commercial litigation and has extensive experience acting in disputes in the financial services, energy, technology, retail and transport sectors. The department’s precedent-setting work in the corporate litigation space also stands out; it recently represented Sova Capital in a precedent-setting corporate dispute for the recovery of $200m in losses. Sergey Petrachkov heads up the practice and specialises in bankruptcy-related litigation; Magomed Gasanov is a standout practitioner in civil litigation and white-collar crime proceedings; and clients also single out senior associate Dmitry Kuptsov.

ALRUD Law Firm’s cross-departmental arbitration and mediation team is jointly led by Sergey Petrachkov and Magomed Gasanov, who have significant experience internationally. Team members have particular expertise in handling corporate, commercial and real estate disputes, and the group has been increasingly active in restructuring and insolvency mandates.
