Successful representation of Zdravushka-Milk in litigation regarding termination of a contract with a Polish contractor

Zdravushka-Milk, one of the largest producers and exporters of dairy products in Belarus, in order to modernize its production facilities, entered into a €1 million contract for the production and supply of dairy packaging equipment with a Polish manufacturer of equipment and production lines for the food industry. The aim of the project was to supply and install dairy packaging equipment and synchronize it with the customer's existing production equipment.

We represented the Client in a technically complex litigation over termination of the contract with the contractor. In this case, we managed to prove that the contractor failed to fulfill its obligations and the equipment produced did not meet the necessary requirements. Having lost the case in the first-instance court, we succeeded in overturning the judgment and won the case in the courts of appeal and cassation.

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.
