Arbitration courts

Arbitration (arbitration court) is handled by a specialized organ of the court system designed to enact justice by way of examining and resolving economic disputes between companies and/or entrepreneurs.

If such situations as late delivery of or failure to deliver equipment, materials, or products; failure to perform works/services; or the refusal to pay the sums indicated in agreements; disputes in the sphere of landlord-tenant relations; difficulties in obtaining debt payments; disputes between members of a company; other company disputes; or conflicts with unscrupulous contractors have happened to you before and you have found yourself needing such an issue resolved, we recommend that you contact Word & Law (Pravo i Slovo).

Here are some advantages of working with our company:

Competence: we regularly represent the interests of our clients in arbitration courts, so we systematically track changes in the law and study and study court practice shaping up under a particular issue.

We have a good grasp of various spheres of arbitration disputes: we have quite a few specialists in different categories of arbitration rights relations (contract, delivery, rent, sale-purchase, leasing, commission, loans, deposits, provision of services, and bankruptcy).

Honesty: We have no desire to impose services on you just to get your money. We closely study the circumstances of your case and inform you of your real prospects for the case. We have been working in the legal services market for over 15 years. Many of our clients have come to us due to word of mouth, so our reputation is something we heavily rely on!

Promptness: we try to study the materials of your case over the course of several hours and provide you your initial consultation. This unfortunately doesn't always work out, since our capable lawyers already have a lot of work and paid work already submitted to them: none of them sit around at their windows with nothing to do.

Broad geographic coverage: we are represented in various arbitration courts all over Russia. Often times, it is worthwhile, even necessary, to involve a lawyer from Moscow to take part in the judicial dispute in your city for a number of reasons.

We propose the following arbitration case services:

• bankruptcy procedure accommodation;
• agreement disputes (construction contracts, deliveries, provision of services, rent);
• recovering debt payments, penalties, fines, losses;
• corporate disputes;
• customs disputes.

We get involved in the process at any stage of dispute relations, conduct an analysis of the situation, provide a consultation, and offer courses of action to resolve the task at hand.

If the disagreements between the participants of the relations have just recently arisen, we take measures to settle before having to go to court. In that case, correspondence with the contractor is conducted, the interests of the parties are clarified, and a letter is sent to the contractor regarding the claim. In the event that it proves impossible to iron out the dispute without resorting to a court hearing, we write up a lawsuit, help you gather a documents package to back up your position, and send it to the court. We further defend our principal’s interests in the Arbitration Courts of the City of Moscow, the Moscow Oblast, or some other region.

However, if court proceedings have already been initiated, our lawyers will acquaint themselves with the materials of the case, prepare the necessary procedural documents, provide support or add to the position of our principal, and prepare an appeal or cassation petition.

Wherever necessary, our company represents the interests of our clients:

• in first instance arbitration courts;
• in arbitration appeals courts;
• in federal arbitration courts of okrugs (arbitration cassation courts);
• in the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation.
