Corporate and commercial law

More and more issues related to cooperation with Russia and to the creation of new production facilities in the territory of the Russian Federation are of relevance to a larger number of European entrepreneurs, especially in consideration of the traceable tendency towards stabilization of the Russian economy.

Throughout the years of activity in the Russian legal market, the Moscow and St. Petersburg offices have developed an extensive legal practice and accumulated experience in providing legal assistance to foreign and Russian companies, banks, governmental and international organizations.

Our Corporate and Commercial Law Practice Group in Russia focuses mainly on the following issues:

• comprehensive legal and tax advice regarding M&A transactions and acquisitions of shares
• incorporations
• comprehensive legal support for foreign companies in Russia regarding establishment of manufacturing
• support for contract negotiations with Russian partners and advising on official approvals to be obtained
• advising enterprises on contractual relations with customers and suppliers
• legal advice on out-of-court dispute resolution and debt recovery, as well as litigation on international trade issues
  

Banking and Finance

Construction of new production facilities in Russia, modernization of Russian industry and infrastructure as well as investments in real estate require financing through foreign lending institutions.

We advise companies and lending institutions on:

• structuring of financial models
• preparation of contractual documentation
• preparation and revision of bank warranties, mortgage agreements, surety agreements and other forms of guarantees

In close cooperation with the German offices of BEITEN BURKHARDT, we support Russian companies in their search for financial resources on the German markets.
