Forbes has published a commentary by PB Legal Managing Partner Alexander Panin on a new possible mechanism of payment for a share in an LLC
The government has approved a draft law allowing LLC participants to receive a payment for a share at market value rather than book value. The change is important because book value can be lower than market value, leading to disputes over the amount of the payment.
In his commentary, Alexander Panin stressed that the new mechanism could save companies from having to go to court in cases of disputes over the value of a share.
Payment of the market value will be made at the request of a participant. The valuation of the share will be carried out by a valuer appointed by the LLC or the person to whom the payment is to be made.
The draft law may reduce disputes and abuses in the event of a member's withdrawal from an LLC. However, the introduction of an alternative mechanism for calculating the actual value of the share requires detailed elaboration at this stage.

Representing a client, a Kazakh company, in a dispute over recovery of unearned advance payment and in a counterparty bankruptcy case.

The Russian company did not complete the work under the contract, but did not return the unearned advance payment.
Our Client is a company from Kazakhstan, one of the largest producers of chrome raw materials and ferroalloys in the world. The Client entered into a contractual agreement with a Russian enterprise. The Russian company did not complete the work under the contract, but did not return the unearned advance payment. The law applicable to the construction contract is the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
PB Legal's team successfully recovered a debt from a contractor in a Russian court. Based on this decision, we initiated bankruptcy of the debtor company. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, we challenged transactions involving the withdrawal of assets from the company in favour of a controlling person, and initiated a proceeding to bring the controlling persons to subsidiary liability.
In addition, our team is also supporting a litigation to recover in a Russian court under the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan the unearned advance payment and damages from a South African company, which also failed to perform work for the Client in co-operation with a Russian company.

The Client needed legal assistance in conducting an effective bankruptcy procedure of the debtor company to ensure the maximisation of the Client's claims.
Our Client is a creditor of a construction company that is currently under bankruptcy proceedings. Works amounting to more than RUB 3 billion were not fulfilled to our Client.
The Client needed legal assistance in conducting an effective bankruptcy procedure of the debtor company to ensure the maximisation of the Client's claims. In the monitoring procedure, creditors filed claims totalling more than RUB 7 billion.
The client is also interested in termination of all contractual relations with the unconscientious contractor, with transfer of all rights and obligations under the contract to the new contractor at the same time.
The PB Legal team represents the Client's interests by (1) supporting the inclusion of his claims in the creditor's register, (2) preparing objections to the claims of other creditors, as well as (3) participating in the disputes with the debtor outside the bankruptcy case, which may help to enlarge the bankruptcy assets.
