Assisting a major investor to obtain federal benefits

Our lawyers provided legal assistance to a leading global car manufacturer in the context of building a car assembly plant in St Petersburg. The project involved negotiations with the representatives of regional state authorities on issues related to obtaining the status of a strategic investor, and providing support to the client in negotiations with the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, the Federal Customs Service, and other bodies. In addition, our lawyers provided support to the client when entering into an investment agreement, selecting a land plot, and provided advice on employment matters when putting the completed plant into operation.
