Vegas Lex has a reputation for expertise in corporate governance restructurings and rescues, though its main deal this year, overseen by department head Yuriy Bortnikov, came in a different area.
On this the firm acted for major commercial entity Bank Uralsib, restructuring its debts so that it could take a blocking stake in another firm to control it as a debtor. This deal closed successfully in December 2010. In addition to Bortnikov, the team acting on this included Maxim Grigoryev, the head of the Krasnodar office, and senior associate Anna Ovcharova.
Vegas Lex is also engaged on a number of other mandates that cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality.
