Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are sources of significant opportunity for both local and international businesses. To take full advantage of these rapidly growing economies, you need expert local legal advice. Our lawyers have a first hand understanding of local legal and regulatory systems and a pragmatic approach to commercial solutions.
If your operations in Russia and the CIS are part of an international strategy, our lawyers are practised at playing their part in multi-jurisdictional transactions, with advice specially adapted to comply with Russian legislation as well as the procedures commonly used in Europe, Asia and the United States.
