    EDITORIAL: INSOLVENCY & RESTRUCTURING IN THE CIS

    Who's Who Legal
    Jan 15 2010

    Following the global economic downturn, insolvency and restructuring
    work has become an increasingly prominent part of many lawyers'
    practice and there is no exception for those working in the CIS.

    Twenty individuals are included.

    Seven Moscow-based lawyers are listed in this chapter, making the
    Russian contingent the strongest in terms of numbers. Irina Mashlenko
    is included from Allen & Overy LLP and she is "very experienced"
    in the restructuring of domestic banks and corporate entities and
    also advises creditors. "Eminent lawyer" Philipp Windemuth of White &
    Case LLP is included and Chadbourne & Parke LLP's Mikhail Rozenberg is
    considered by peers to be "a superlative practitioner", whose recent
    work has included advising international financial institutions
    on debt restructuring procedures. The "very distinguished" Sergey
    Komolov from Hogan & Hartson LLP is another high-profile nominee. At
    PricewaterhouseCoopers Andrei Narutsky leads the Moscow practice
    group for corporate restructuring and fiduciary services. Squire
    Sanders & Dempsey LLP's Patrick Brooks "has substantial experience"
    in restructuring, particularly in the steel, energy, automotive and
    chemical sectors and Monastyrsky, Zyuba, Semenov & Partners provides
    Alexander Zyuba, who is "a first-class lawyer" for our list.

    In Belarus, Kiryl Apanasevich from Baltic law firm Sorainen is "a
    prominent figure". Konstantin Mikhel is managing partner of Vlasova
    Mikhel & Partners and peers consider him to be "outstanding".

    Stepanovski Papakul & Partners' Maksim Kosachev is "a skilled
    specialist" in this area and Sergei Makarchuk, the managing partner
    of Austrian powerhouse Cerha Hempel Spiegelfeld Hlawati FLLC's Minsk
    office, is "a leader in the field."

    Ukraine has three nominees, one of which is Olga Khoroshylova of
    Magisters. She is "excellent for distressed assets work" and is based
    in the firm's Kiev office. The "top notch" Michael Shkabry is the chair
    of Jurvneshservice's bankruptcy and insolvency practice and Stanislaw
    Skrypnyck of Lavrynovych & Partners is "a well-known practitioner."

    Two Moldovan lawyers are included in this chapter, both of them from
    Gladei & Partners. Roger Gladei and Vitalie Ciofu are reputed to be
    "skilled, hardworking and a pleasure to deal with."

    In Armenia, Vahagn Mikayelyan is the partner in charge of Grant
    Thornton Amyot's legal and tax advisory assignments and is considered
    "a proficient insolvency expert".

    Kazakhstan is home to three highly rated experts. The "very fine" Maxim
    Telemtayev supervises Macleod Dixon ELP's practice in the Republic of
    Kazakhstan and in other Central Asian countries and directly manages
    the Almaty office. Vladimir Furman from McGuireWoods Kazakhstan LLP is
    "first class" with particular experience of restructuring of holding
    companies and the forced and voluntary liquidation of companies. At
    Bracewell & Giuliani LLP, Zhanar Kassymbekova is regarded as a "top
    notch corporate restructuring lawyer".
