“We represented a large manufacturing company in India who was participating in a Chapter 11 auction, conducted in New York and supervised by the Delaware Bankruptcy court, of the shares of a Dutch company.  Working efficiently with New York City member firm  Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP, we met the initial filing deadline (only 4 days after the initial contact with the client), and successfully acquired the Dutch company within 12 calendar days.  Our client was very impressed by the resources available to us through our firm’s State Capital Group membership.”

"A Russian private investor reached ALRUD for legal assistance in the acquisition of a company owning real estate assets under construction in Moscow.  Because the transaction was primarily structured under English law, ALRUD collaborated with Birmingham, England member firm Wragge & Co.  to implement the complex transaction, which involved the development of a strong collaterals package and a tiered purchase based upon completion of particular construction stages.  The client was completely satisfied with our commitment and teamwork, which helped us to accomplish this $100 million transaction successfully."

"We were contacted by a State Capital Group member firm in the United States with an urgent request to assist one of their clients, an internationally famous music artist, with a significant contractual dispute in the Irish Commercial Court.  We helped facilitate a suitable solution to the dispute, and hosted the U.S. attorney in our Dublin office for a week while the litigation and settlement discussions proceeded."
