Personal bankruptcy

In December 2014 the Federal Law “On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)” was changed dramatically. New provisions concerning personal bankruptcy were introduced. Since 10/01/2015 it became possible to declare bankrupt not only a legal entity or a private entrepreneur, but also an individual.

Our partners Svetlana Tarnopolskaya and Julia Maranz consult on personal bankruptcy.

Personal bankruptcy is a new phenomenon in the Russian law, so there’s little case law in this area, as well as little explanations from the authorities on the issue in question. The new legislation is yet to stand the test of time and the case law is yet to be shaped. However, the question already concerns the personal responsibility when the person is liable for the full extent of its assets, on the one hand, and on the other hand – the possibility to write off the debt. So, the professional legal help in personal bankruptcy, both from debtor’s and creditor’s side, requires special qualification and experience.
