Yury Babichev

Partner, advocate

Acted for a venture capital fund in an LCIA arbitration launched by the majority shareholder in an IT start-up company. We succeeded in compelling the remaining minority shareholders into the ongoing arbitration proceedings and then managed to achieve rejection of an unanticipated motion on their part to prohibit our client from exercising its rights under the call option. As a result, the dispute was settled out of court on terms favourable to our client.
