Introduction

Vsevolod Kazachynski

Attorney · MCBA · SLC “Transport & Law”

“I only take on what I can genuinely see through to a result. If the prospects are weak, I say so at the first meeting — not in the invoice.”

Since 2002 I have practised litigation and business defence. Before joining the Bar I was a licensed lawyer.

Focus areas: commercial and civil disputes, corporate law, incorporation, reorganisation and liquidation of legal entities, business sales, liquidation and bankruptcy.

Since 2015 I have been a member of the Minsk City Bar Association, special licence No. 02240/2591 dated 19.12.2014. Since 2021 I practise as part of the Specialized Legal Consultancy “Transport & Law”.

When you need me.

Six typical situations that bring owners and directors of Belarusian companies to me.

01 · Debt

A counterparty isn’t paying

Goods delivered, work done, payment overdue. Pre-trial settlement, summary proceedings, full litigation.

02 · Tax

A tax authority audit report

Additional assessments and penalties. Objections to the report, appeals against the decision, defence in court.

03 · LLC

A corporate conflict in an LLC

A 50/50 deadlock, a member’s exit, a share dispute, challenging meeting resolutions.

04 · Registration

Legal entities

Incorporation of legal entities. Reorganisation: spin-off, merger, consolidation, transformation. Liquidation — full support from the decision, including tax and other audits, through to removal from the State Register.

Participation in negotiations and resolving conflicts between members, representation at members’ meetings, before the registration authority and in the Economic Court.

Frequent questions.

If your question isn’t here — message me on Telegram, I usually reply within an hour.

01What is the current court fee for the Economic Court?+

For monetary claims it is a percentage of the claim value on a sliding scale; for non-monetary claims it is a fixed rate in base units. I calculate the exact amount for your matter when preparing the claim and agree it with you before filing. Where there are grounds, I apply for a deferral or instalment payment.

02Can the matter be resolved out of court?+

Yes, and I always look at that first. A well-drafted demand, negotiations with the other side’s lawyers and a structured settlement are often cheaper, faster and better than litigation. But if the other side stalls, I go to court without delay — limitation periods and the economic result matter more than polite correspondence.

03How long does a case in the Economic Court usually take?+

The first instance is usually 2–4 months from filing to decision; complex cases involving expert examination take up to 6 months. Appeal — 1–2 months. Enforcement is a separate stage whose length depends on the debtor’s solvency, available assets and your readiness to work with bailiffs and banks.

04Do you take tax and customs disputes?+

Yes, this is one of my main areas. Objections to audit reports, appeals to a higher authority, defence in the Economic Court, disputes over customs value and goods classification. Acting quickly is essential — missing the deadline for objections sharply narrows the options.

05Can I pay in instalments?+

I usually work on fixed rates or hourly; instalments are possible and agreed individually. All terms are fixed in the agreement before any work starts — no surprises on the invoice.

06What regions do you cover?+

My main region is Minsk and the Minsk region. I run cases in the economic courts of all regions of Belarus — travelling or working through the electronic court system. For matters with a foreign element I handle contracts and disputes within foreign-trade activity.

07How fast do you reply on Telegram and email?+

During working hours (Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00) — usually within an hour. I check urgent messages about procedural deadlines outside hours too. If I haven’t replied during the working day, I’m in a hearing and will call back or answer afterwards.
