Centil Law Firm

We work within emerging markets, i.e. in jurisdictions that are the recipients of investment. Upon the collapse of the USSR, the governments of the independent states began the active privatisation of assets that were once owned by the communist regime. In most cases, the state companies were privatised in the form of stock companies, which was a complete novelty under the laws of the time. Although corporate law has since evolved to accommodate some western business concepts, many remain unfamiliar to the post-soviet states.

Our Corporate and M&A practice is typically involved in reorganisations, reconstructions, mergers, demergers, acquisitions, public takeovers, joint ventures and disposals. Economic growth in emerging markets often leads to the frequent acquisition of local companies by foreign enterprises, and the process continues. We have been engaged in hundreds of due diligences over the last eight years and have advised both the buyers and sellers of countless equity and asset disposals and acquisitions in the region.

Advice typically covers:

• acquisition of state-owned enterprises
• joint ventures and subsidiaries
• antitrust
• due-diligences
• foreign investments
• corporate reorganisations
• insolvency
• employment and immigration
• management buy-outs

Courtrooms are essentially a firing range where transactional instruments and concepts are put to the test. We therefore believe that the more the firm is involved in disputes, the more value is added to its other integrated practices.

Our disputes team focuses on both local litigation and international commercial arbitration and we regularly advise on investment disputes at the pre-trial, trial and post-trial stages.

Our lawyers focus primarily on:

• Construction disputes
• Energy disputes
• Employment disputes
• Insurance disputes
• Fraud and asset tracing
• Trade/supply disputes
• While collar crime
