The "Agency of Insurance News" (AIN) detailed in its article about our landmark arbitration case, in which AKS Legal lawyers obtained a dismissal of most of claims (70%) asserted against RSKhB-Insurance. The case was heard in three court instances, and the total amount of claims rejected exceeded RUB 1 billion. Alexander Svintsov, partner of AKS Legal, commented at the request of AIN on the significance of this dispute for the law practice.

Our new article “Emergency Agricultural Insurance” was published in the journal “Modern Insurance Technologies” (No. 4 (87) 2021). The article is devoted to Federal Law No. 177-FZ dated June 11, 2021 “On Amendments to the Federal Law ‘On State Support in the Field of Agricultural Insurance’…”. The law is important for the development of agricultural insurance in the Russian Federation, since it introduces a new institution - agricultural insurance with state support in case of occurrence of an emergency incident. The AKS Legal team, under the guidance of partners Kira Svintsova and Alexander Svintsov, and at the request of the National Association of Agricultural Insurers, took part in preparation of a number of rules of this law and regulatory acts to it.

Kira Svintsova and Ruslan Kozhevnikov shared in their text for Modern Insurance Technology some details of the intricate legal case. Skillfully managed and won by AKS Legal, the suit was ignited by the unethical behavior of the parties. To win the case, AKS Legal needed 28 court sessions, a quadcopter, satellite images, agronomy textbooks, and over 50 voluminous procedural documents.
