Lawyer Aleksey Sukhoruchenko

Aleksey Sukhoruchenko came to law from investigative work: from 1999 he served as an economic crime detective and then as an investigator of the Federal Tax Police. For twenty years lawyer Sukhoruchenko worked in industry: senior in-house counsel at Tobolsk-Neftekhim and the Tobolsk trunk pipeline division of Transneft-Siberia, deputy director for legal affairs at Promstroyproekt. From 2022 to 2025 he headed the civil service, legal and records department of the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications of Sverdlovsk Region.

At Kovalev & Partners Aleksey Viktorovich Sukhoruchenko combines both experiences, that of a corporate lawyer in industry and of the head of a legal unit inside a state body. This gives an understanding of both sides in disputes with public customers and supervisory authorities.
