FBK Legal at Forbes Conference

At an annual conference on bankruptcy, restructuring and corporate conflicts organised by Forbes on 22 April, Alena Ermolenko participated in a session dedicated to corporate conflicts.

Alena used several real-life cases to speak about corporate disputes with spouses of shareholders. “When selecting a business partner and building corporate relationships, it is important to remember that the partner has relationships both with the company and with his or her spouse. Relevant practice shows that effective resolution of corporate disputes between spouses requires stipulation of relevant matters in articles of association or a corporate agreement well in advance. Otherwise, you may face the situation when any decision is an unfair one,” the lawyer said.
