The goal of this brochure is to provide potential investors with basic information on Russian legislation. At the same time, our brochure may be used as a guide for businesspeople currently working in Russia. It is intended to orientate the reader in the Russian legal field. In this brochure we succeed in presenting the foundation and operation of a business in Russia as a rather predictable and manageable project; this was possible by providing relevant information gained from the projects implemented by the firm’s experts.
