MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” has achieved the lifting of sanctions restrictions from the client’s assets in Belgium! The team of lawyers represented by Nikita Filippov, Marina Chastikina and Yakov Prisyazhnyuk successfully unlocked the client’s assets taken into account in the National Settlement Depository (the so-called bank for shares). After more than a year of negotiations with the Belgian Treasury, the client was excluded from the sanctions restrictions.

“Obtaining a permit is an important victory, but the key task now is to put it into practice so that the client can fully regain control of his securities,” said Nikita Filippov, Head of the Bureau.

We proudly congratulate the client and continue active work on the release of frozen assets of our other trustors.

When appetites grow on a “procedural hunt”: part two

In February, we had already won a victory against the lawsuit of the Moscow City Property Department and the government of Moscow, demanding to demolish 2000+ square meters the premises of our client. Then the court completely refused the lawsuit and saved the building to the client.

Unable to accept defeat, the opponents filed an appeal, in which they attempted to present the Client as the evil owner of a large asset that was dangerous to those around him, to deprive the Client of his property again, and to stage a real “procedural theatre”. And again a failure! Thanks to the strategy of Rashid Gitinov, the head of the practice of disputes with state bodies, the building and business of the client still remain in his property.
