Business Services in GCR and Worldwide
Legal Defense & Crisis Resolution
We provide the legal armor and operational command when your business faces existential threats. Act decisively, discreetly, and with lethal precision.
Designed for: Shareholders whose assets are under attack, CEOs facing personal risks, and Financial Institutions working with distressed debts.
Strategic Landscape
In the Greater Caspian Region (GCR), commercial disputes often go beyond the civil code. In strategic sectors such as Oil, Gas, and Critical Minerals, conflicts can be accompanied by administrative pressure and aggressive actions by competitors. With us, you get legal immunity in key aspects:
- Global Enforceability Transferring disputes to international arbitration guarantees property rights protection in a neutral legal field. You get decision predictability and the ability to effectively defend interests regardless of the local conjuncture.
- Business Continuity Proactive legal protection neutralizes administrative risks, maintaining operational activity. This allows the business to function stably and fulfill obligations to partners in any situation.
- Strategic Focus Transferring anti-crisis functionality to an external manager (CRO) frees up team resources for revenue generation. Task separation allows retaining market positions and financial discipline.
We seize the initiative, transferring the conflict to our terms and protecting key assets from dissipation.
What We Deliver
Core Capabilities: Defense & Resolution
01. Complex Dispute Resolution (Arbitration & Mediation)
We take on the management of complex disputes. Our strategy is Venue Shifting: transferring the conflict to neutral jurisdictions or using High-Level Access to create conditions for a favorable settlement.
02. White Collar Defense & Reputation Shield
We protect management and beneficiaries from risks of economic liability. We work proactively, minimizing the consequences of inspections and building a defense line that shields shareholders from subsidiary liability. We curb public scandals, preserving the possibility of doing business in the future.
03. Restructuring & Controlled Insolvency
If financial insolvency is inevitable, we conduct a controlled bankruptcy procedure. Our goal is not liquidation, but Asset Ring-Fencing: preserving valuable assets (IP, licenses, real estate) in a "clean" contour and cleaning the balance sheet of toxic debts for a new start.
Interim Management (LTV Options)
Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO)
While lawyers fight in courts, we introduce an external crisis manager into the company. This is an experienced executive with a mandate for tough decisions. They cut costs, negotiate restructuring with banks, and keep operational activity afloat until the crisis is resolved.
Distressed Asset Recovery
For financial institutions, we act as an operator for returning distressed assets. We conduct asset tracing and manage them until the moment of profitable sale.
The Methodology
Phase 1: Immediate Stabilization
Introduction of CRO, taking control of cash flows and documents.
Phase 2: Legal Counter-Attack
Transferring disputes to arbitration, blocking opponent actions.
Phase 3: Restructuring
Isolating healthy assets, writing off toxic obligations.
Phase 4: Exit or Restart
Settlement agreement, asset sale, or business relaunch.
Project Spotlight
Client
Foreign Minority Shareholder of an Oil Refinery (Oil & Gas Downstream)
Context
The majority local partner initiated an additional share issue to dilute the client's share, simultaneously organizing a tax audit to block accounts and force the sale of the share for a pittance.
Solution
Our White Collar Defense team blocked criminal risks for the director appointed by the client. In parallel, we initiated arbitration proceedings in London (LCIA) according to the shareholders' agreement and, using GR resources, attracted the attention of the relevant ministry to the conflict.
Result
Attack stopped. A settlement agreement was signed: the client exited the asset (Cash-out) at fair market valuation, preserving reputation and capital.
