She also touched on the issues that Chinese investors most frequently encounter in Russia. During his speech on the Russian taxation system, Rustem Ahmetshin highlighted key aspects of the 2025 tax reform as well as preferential treatment in Russia for investments. Ilya Bolotnov dedicated his speech to the sustainable development of Russia's IT industry and associated legal matters.
Partner Yuri Vorobyev, head of the banking & finance practice Lidia Gorshkova and associate Anton Pchelkin joined their colleagues online. During their presentations, Pepeliaev Group’s lawyers delved into the most topical issues concerning reciprocal payments and the resolution of disputes between Russian and Chinese counterparties, as well as the protection of trademarks in Russia.
On 13 November, Pepeliaev Group’s partners took part in the Annual Cross-Border Investments and M&A Summit, which gathered over 200 representatives of Chinese business.
Moreover, in the context of this business mission, Rustem Ahmetshin, Natalia Stenina and Ilya Bolotnov held a series of meetings with current and potential clients of our firm, as well as with representatives of partner law firms.
