Experience
Insolvency of an Automotive Joint Venture Involving a Foreign Creditor
The dispute concerned bankruptcy proceedings involving a joint venture operating in the automotive sales sector in the Russian Federation. The firm represented a foreign creditor whose claims arose in a matter marked by indications of asset dissipation and effective control exercised by persons not formally involved in the company’s management.
In the course of the case, Inmar Legal conducted an integrated legal and financial review of the debtor’s activities, including analysis of the corporate structure and related-party transactions. Judicial measures were initiated to increase the bankruptcy estate and ensure protection of creditor interests.
As a result, the court imposed subsidiary liability on the debtor’s controlling persons. This outcome enabled actual satisfaction of the foreign creditor’s claims and ensured a fair allocation of interests within the insolvency matters.
