Sergey's articles on some issues of tax law have received an acknowledgment of the Year's Best Article by such editions as "Chief Accountant" and "Economics and Life – Lawyer".

Apart from litigating tax cases before Russian courts, Sergey acts as taxpayers' representative in the course of tax audits and other tax control activities undertaken by tax authorities; he as well represents taxpayers at a pre-judicial stage of challenging tax authorities' actions (inactions) when taxpayers bring appeals before higher tax authorities.

He teaches on tax law issues, and is regularly invited to conduct corporate seminars or give lectures by Russian leading specialized journals/papers.
