Liquidation as a means of resolving corporate conflict
Since 2014, in cases where corporate conflict blocks a company's activities, Russian law has allowed company members to demand the company's judicial liquidation.
Before the change in the law a company undergoing extended internal corporate conflict was virtually doomed to bankruptcy, and company members were liable for huge material losses. The situation has now changed.
Liquidation as a means of resolving conflict can bring corporate disputes to an end at an early stage and allow property to be distributed between company members after any settlements with creditors.
Pavel Shaydurov, MGAP Head of Tax and Corporate Practice, and Denis Zverev, MGAP Junior Associate, have prepared a memorandum about it.
