Doing Business in Russia - 2011 edition

We at CMS have been welcoming investors to Russia for nearly two decades. Consequently, we understand the importance of high-quality and accurate information when doing business in the country.

As a result, we have published an introductory guide to the Russian legal system and the principal laws and regulations that are of interest to investors entering this exciting and fast-growing market. Of course, the guide itself could not fully substitute for the expert advice that our specialists are ready to offer you.

In addition to providing foreign investors with updated information on the political and administrative situation, the legal environment as well as the various types of business structures in Russia today, the 2011 edition of CMS Doing Business in Russia presents the key aspects of the Russian legal system and the regulation of business activities in the following areas:

• Tax system
• Customs regulations
• Energy efficiency
• Anti-monopoly issues
• Banking sector
• Lending in Russia
• Currency control
• Corporate bankruptcy
• Employment
• Real estate and construction
• Intellectual property

Russia is changing every day and, even though the 2011 guide describes the laws as at 1 April 2011, we suggest that you contact us to check that they remain up-to-date.
