Our clients can rely on us for practical and strategic advice in the following areas:

Corporate Law:

Business set-up: when implementing a business, the first issue remains the determination of the adapted legal structure to your particular needs and targets. We advise our clients on choosing the right legal form to start up business in Russia. We provide full scope services on registration of LLCs (including Joint Ventures), Branches and Representative Offices of foreign companies.

M&A:

Our M&A practice has an impressive track record of representing clients in share and asset acquisition and disposal transactions, ranging in size from very large to relatively modest, and advising with respect to joint ventures, corporate reorganisations, corporate governance matters, transaction clearance and due diligence reviews. We have extensive experience in handling the most sophisticated and time- and resource-intensive deals, many of which involve complex and novel structures and tend to be multi-jurisdictional.

Reorganizations, restructurings:

For the achievement of your business objectives or the necessary adaptation of your business to new regulations sometimes it is necessary to reorganize the group structure. We can implement any reorganization project, including mergers & acquisitions. Also, we advise our clients on capital restructuring projects with further implementation.

Liquidations:

When a project ends, we help you in liquidation of the existing business. Depending on your expectations in terms of timelines, we can propose several scenarios for liquidation.

Commercial Law

We look after all the legal support in day-to-day business: drafting and reviewing contracts, adapting group templates to local rules, helping in negotiations with counterparties. Our expertise also covers debts restructuring.

Employment Law

We advise and support employers in the day to day management of their employees, upon hiring and during the performance of their employment contract including in advisory in C&B planning. In case of projects on termination of the employment contract, we advise you on the applicable procedure adapted to the situation of the employee concerned (types of dismissal, mutual agreement on termination) enabling you to minimize financial consequences and/or to avoid the risk of litigation with the employee upon the termination of his/her employment contract.

Migration regulation
