Vitaly has also organized and examined a number of simulated dawn raids for clients." The firm also describes him as having "considerable positive experience of acting for clients in state arbitration courts, courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration tribunals, including the International Commercial Arbitration Court under the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation."
