| Moncrief Oil v. OAO Gazprombank |

OAO Gazprombank

 |
| Winston & Strawn served as lead counsel in the defense of Gazprombank, the third-largest bank in Russia, in agent claims brought by Moncrief Oil in Texas State Court. The plaintiff alleged that our client interfered with Moncrief's relationship with another U.S. oil company, engaged in a massive conspiracy, and misappropriated confidential information, all in connection with an alleged dispute involving one of the world's largest natural gas fields, the Yuzhno Russkoye in West Siberia. Following a hearing in the summer of 2009, the court dismissed Gazprombank, with the action proceeding against certain other defendants. In 2010, the Texas Appellate Court dismissed Gazprombank. |
