Dentons advised Lenta, one of the biggest and dynamically developing chains of hypermarkets in Russia, on the purchase of land plots and real estate in Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Volgograd and Taganrog from the O'Key group of companies.

The team was led by Partner and Head of the St. Petersburg Real Estate Practice Karina Chichkanova, who oversaw the project including the drafting a total of 16 agreements with comprehensive due diligence in relation to the purchase of land and real estate.

"This project was a serious test for us because we had to do a lot of work in record time without compromising on quality," Chichkanova said. "Our professional experience and efficient communication with the client allowed us to successfully handle the task."

Karina Chichkanova was supported by Of Counsel Olga Uriupinskaya and Oleg Lovtsov, Associates Arina Dovzhenko, Tair Suleymanov, Svetlana Shlyunko, Victoria Kosolapova and Georgy Logunov, and Paralegals Ilya Dudin and Svetlana Lialkova.
