Successful legal defense of a Turkish company against a prosecutor’s claim

A Turkish construction company providing conceptualization, design, engineering and construction services constructed a hotel in Minsk for a Belarusian customer. Upon completion of the construction, the prosecutor brought a claim against the client in support of the customer to recover USD 1.5 million of liquidated damages due to the delay in the construction of the facility.

In fact, we managed to win this case, as the court eventually awarded a payment of USD 5,000, which turned out to be three hundred times less than the claimed amount.

We developed the judicial strategy and tactics in this case, prepared service documents and represented the client in court.

During the entire period of Zeppelin's presence in Belarus the cooperation between our companies has been very successful. Depending on the growth and development of our business we sought different types of legal services — starting from accreditation of a representative office and establishing a Belarusian company to purchasing real estate and preparing the general contractor agreement for the construction of a service center. We have always received professional legal advice and high quality legal services, such as preparing various legal documents, decisions. The best recommendation for Verkhovodko & Partners is that during these eight years we have never wished to seek legal services from other law firms. We are grateful to Verkhovodko & Partners for their professional expertise and we wish to continue our advantageous cooperation in future.
