Russian term or phrase: для отыскания своих интересов
Поэтому, если мы примем неправильное решение, акционеры подадут на нас в суд, они получат наше имущество, мы станем банкротами, но миллиард рублей или 10 миллиардов рублей, которые мы должны будем возместить в результате своей ошибки, они не получат»,— объяснил Гуриев. «Некоторые из них, если по-честному сказать, довольно обеспеченные, найдется десяток-другой лиц, которым можно смело предъявлять иск, ориентируясь на его личное имущество, как достаточное для отыскания своих интересов», — заметил в ответ Медведев.

to recover your losses


Explanation:
I don't think you can use the word "interest" in this context as it lacks (usually) the meaning used in the source text.
