12 million ₽
Additional tax charges of 12 million rubles ($ 160 000) avoided

A private company with tax risks successfully liquidated without additional tax assessments and penalties.
Situation:
During the tax audit in September 2021, the tax risks for the year 2018 were identified. The company faced potential additional charges of 12 million rubles ($ 160 000), as well as a penalty ranging from 20% to 40% of the additional assessments.
Solution:
We implemented a set of procedures to improve the company's accounting and minimize risks. We took over the company's accounting, waited until the beginning of 2022 to exceed the deadline for possible tax inspections for the period with tax risks, and proceeded with the liquidation process.
Result:
The private company was successfully liquidated without additional assessments or penalties because the period with tax risks had passed. The company saved 12 million rubles ($ 160 000) and avoided penalties.

The main creditor's claims for 200 million rubles ($ 2 666 666,67) were rejected, claims amounting to 140 million rubles ($ 1 866 666,67) were sold for 60 million rubles ($ 800 000), the director was freed from criminal prosecution and preserved the business.
Situation:
The new owner of a construction developer and investor decided to switch to a different construction company involving numerous claims regarding the volume and quality of work, suspension of payments, and further financing. As a result, a list of creditors' claims for 340 million rubles ($ 4 533 333,33) was created, an affiliated manager was appointed, and the director faced criminal prosecution.
Solution:
We established a dialogue with the creditors, falsified the developer and investor's claims and excluded these claims amounting to approximately 200 million rubles ($ 2 666 666,67) from the list. The bankruptcy trustee was dismissed, and the remaining creditors' claims of 140 million rubles ($ 1 866 666,67) were sold for 60 million rubles ($ 800 000). The claims were settled.
Result:
The bankruptcy procedure finished with the business preserved. The company's director and other responsible parties were freed from criminal prosecution. Approximately 280 million rubles ($ 3 733 333,33) were preserved.

70 million ₽
Bribery sum of over 70 million rubles to a public official

All evidence provided by the investigation was refuted, and the criminal case against the company's director was terminated after a 4-year investigation.
Situation:
The director of a major enterprise was accused of repeated bribery to a government official, totaling over 70 million rubles ($ 933 333,33). The purpose of the bribery was to secure the official's approval of an allegedly inflated equipment supply price. The accusation was based on the testimony of the government official.
Solution:
The facts of the alleged agreements and bribery during three meetings between the suspect and the government official, for the approval of a non-inflated contract price, were refuted. Evidence was presented to demonstrate the significant reduction in contract prices caused by the government official. The evidence of the suspect's guilt, including the government official's polygraph examination results, was refuted.
Result:
The accusation of collusion and bribery by the company's director towards a public official was refuted. The investigation, which lasted over 4 years, was ultimately terminated due to a lack of any evidence supporting the existence of agreements or bribery.
