Today, BIRCH LEGAL’s lawyers successfully defended their client’s interests in the Arbitrazh (State Commercial) Court of Saint Petersburg

The client (company) rented out the premises for which the lessee did not pay in cash but in the form of repairs and renovations to the rented premises. One of the participants in the company considered this to be a violation and brought a claim against the lessee for the recovery of damages asserting that the company was deprived of part of its profit.

As opposed to the norm of the lessee paying rent, the arrangement between the parties in this case is rarely seen in practice and therefore raised questions in the courts. Nevertheless, BIRCH LEGAL’s lawyers achieved a positive outcome for the defendant: the court dismissed the entire claim brought against the lessee.

The position was prepared by BIRCH LEGAL’s Senior Associates Natalia Ivolgina and Andrey Shubin, Associate Alla Kipriyanova and Junior Associate Daria Bilyk.
