Experience
Konstantin Perelman is a commercial litigator focusing on high-stakes disputes, complex insolvency proceedings, and conflicts involving shareholders, senior executives, and controlling persons. He represents clients in bet-the-company litigation and bankruptcy-related disputes where the outcome directly affects ownership, control, and billions in asset value.
Konstantin has extensive experience handling disputes arising out of corporate conflicts, financial transactions, and large-scale commercial projects. He regularly acts for top executives, investors, and financial institutions in cases involving claims for damages and subsidiary liability, including matters with claimed amounts exceeding hundreds of billions of rubles.
A significant part of Konstantin’s practice is dedicated to disputes and advisory work at the intersection of litigation, financial regulation, and emerging financial instruments. He is well experienced in matters involving digital financial assets (DFAs), regulatory oversight by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, and compliance issues affecting financial institutions, fintech companies, and market participants. Konstantin advises clients both in contentious proceedings and on regulatory risk management in this rapidly evolving area.
Konstantin conducts this work hands-on in active disputes and investigations, and the regulation of financial markets and digital assets also constitutes a key area of his academic and research interest, which informs his practical, litigation-driven approach.
In addition, Konstantin regularly leads internal investigations and legal audits for major Russian and international companies across the banking and financial services, construction, e-commerce, agriculture, and media sectors.
