In 1997, Sergei Tsivilev, together with his brother Valery and Igor Sobolevsky, created the Nortek law firm, which existed for 15 years. In 2007, among the clients of Sergei Tsivilev personally was “the President’s poor relative” and classmate Viktor Khmarin. Tsivilev represented Khmarin’s interests in a dispute with St. Petersburg businessman Viktor Solovyov.
In 2004, Soloviev and Khmarin were partners in the Bely Ostrov company, where Khmarin invested in promissory notes for $4 million. But the business did not work out, the enterprise went bankrupt and went bankrupt, then Khmarin began to demand a return on the invested funds from his partner. Lawyer Tsivilev, as everyone now knows, took on the task of resolving the conflict in a purely family-like manner.
Tsivilev stopped representing Khmarin’s interests after the quarrel. According to the source, the bone of contention between the “relatives” was disagreements in the business partnership in the Lenexpoinvest company, which was supposed to build the new Lenexpo complex.
