Research Methodology*
Pravo.ru analysts analyzed 7,648 final decisions of Russian arbitration courts, which were made from January 1 to December 31, 2024. The company’s participation was taken into account only as a plaintiff and defendant; claims for the recovery of legal costs, proceedings to challenge the refusal to review a case based on newly discovered circumstances, and the like were not taken into account. If a counterclaim was filed within the framework of one dispute, then we took into account two decisions and the amounts of two claims. The exception was counterclaims for recognition of transactions as invalid.
When distributing companies into groups (within each group, companies are arranged in alphabetical order), a set of such parameters was taken into account as:
total amount of claims. Calculated by summing up all claims filed by plaintiffs, excluding the outcome of the case and regardless of the amount recovered as a result of dispute resolution. The case amount was taken into account once, regardless of how many decisions were made on it in 2024. If two or more law firms were involved in one case, the claim amount was not divided proportionally;
the number of cases in progress for companies in 2024;
the number of final decisions in courts in 2024;
a point for the result in the courts (for each decision positive for the company, we assigned 1 point; partial satisfaction of the claim – 0.5 points; loss – 0.1 points. If the claim was left without consideration, the case ended in a settlement agreement, the dispute was sent for review to the cassation court, we assessed such an outcome individually based on the case materials);
the average claim amount excluding claims with non-material claims. Several separate disputes may be considered within a bankruptcy case, so the average claim amount is not a quotient of the total amount of all claims and the number of cases in proceedings;
winrate — score for the result in the courts / number of decisions.
The significance of all parameters is the same and equals one, with the exception of the number of claims (0.5) and the average claim amount (2). The derived tables (by average claim amount, number and amounts of cases) included only companies included in the tables with groups.
