Forte Tax & Law launches a new practice: legal support for the Fuel and Energy Complex (FEC) and hosts a webinar for GDCs

Forte Tax & Law launches a new practice: legal support for the Fuel and Energy Complex (FEC). One of its top priorities will be protecting the rights of gas distribution companies (GDCs) in their relations with the Unified Gasification Operator (UGO). Evgenii Kozhevin, an expert in legal support for oil and gas companies, will head this practice. He previously held senior positions in the legal divisions of Gazprom Group and is the author of an analytical series of articles on legal issues related to pre-gasification.

Evgenii Kozhevin’s first initiative as head of the practice was to host a webinar, “FIRST CLASS ACTION AGAINST GAZPROM IN RUSSIA: A Unification of GDCs vs. UGO,” on June 26, 2025. Participants discussed today’s key issues between the UGO and independent gas distribution companies (IGDCs), and ways to resolve their disagreements.
