Maxima Legal invites participants to a business breakfast on the topic of subsidiary liability of top managers and beneficiaries of businesses

Sergei Bakeshin - Counsel

Law firm, Maxima Legal invites participants to take part in a business breakfast on the hot topic of incurring subsidiary liability by top managers or beneficiaries of businesses.

Date: 21 February, Thursday

Location: Maxima Legal, Liteyniy Prospekt, 26, office 530, St Petersburg

Time: 10.00 — 11.30 am

One of the key features of 2018 in the sector of insolvency became the largescale use by the commercial courts of subsidiary liability of controlling persons/entities for company debts. Last year 2,215 individuals and entities were made liable for the debts of their businesses, which is 2.3 times higher than the figure for 2017, and four times higher than the figure for 2016. The factors that have increased courts’ willingness to lift the corporate veil have been the toughening of legislation, including a significant expansion on the list of grounds for imposing liability on controlling persons.

Who can be a controlling person/entity?
On what basis can a controlling person/entity incur subsidiary liability?
What are the procedures for imposing subsidiary liability on a controlling person/entity?
How to determine the extent of an entity’s/person’s subsidiary liability?
What is the limitation period for subsidiary liability?

These and other questions will be answered on 21 February at the business breakfast in Maxima Legal’s office.

Participation in the business breakfast is free following initial registration by email to: m.kryukova@maximalegal.ru, by calling +7 911 112 43 03, or by registering for the event on the Timepad website >>>
