Rustam Kurmaev & Partners has successfully represented Boris Dubrovskiy, the former governor of Russia's Chelyabinsk region, in a dispute with the Antimonopoly Service of Russia.
The Moscow City Arbitrazh Court overruled the decision of the FAS, which had found Dubrovskiy guilty of entering into an anticompetitive agreement with a commercial entity and improperly restricting road-building competition in the Chelyabinsk region.
According to Rustam Kurmaev & Partners, "this dispute is unique for Russia, for heads of Russian regions have never before in the history of the modern Russia been held liable for violating the Competition Law."
The Rustam Kurmaev & Partners team included Managing Partner Rustam Kurmaev and lawyers Vasiliy Malinin and Zaur Tsarakov.
