Ernst & Young appoints a Russian as its global oil and gas tax leader
Aleksey will be responsible for coordinating the development of the firm’s tax services to some of its largest international oil and gas clients, as well as expanding the development of Ernst & Young’s oil and gas services in Moscow.
Wendy Fenwick, Ernst & Young global oil and gas leader, said, “The role of Russia in the global oil and gas business is expanding and Aleksey’s extensive experience will continue to bolster our commitment to client service excellence in Russia and globally. He will play a key role in coordinating our oil and gas tax activities.”
Aleksey noted, “We are witnessing dramatic changes in the oil and gas industry. The focus is shifting from traditional international oil and gas companies towards new significant market players, including national and international oil and gas companies operating in the Middle East, Russia, China, Latin America, India and Caspian countries.”
Aleksey has 17 years of experience advising oil and gas companies on Russian and international taxation. He joined Ernst & Young Moscow in December 2008 from another Big Four firm.
During his career Aleksey has advised a number of large Russian and global oil and gas and mining companies on restructuring, mergers and acquisitions and major projects involving the coordinated participation of Russian and foreign investors in hydrocarbon production projects (including PSA-based projects), oil and gas transportation projects in Russia and the Caspian region, and refinery business investment projects in the region.[/private]
