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.
