Analysed risks and assessed proposed business models

Lawyers of the practice have provided advice to an investment company which was planning to keep for investors from Russia access to the international capital market despite sanctions. The client has developed several business models based on cooperation between a Russian legal entity (a resident) with a non-resident from a friendly jurisdiction. Our experts have analysed whether the planned transactions are in line with currency legislation (including the Russian President’s counter-sanctions decrees) and consistent on multiple levels with regulatory rules.

Lawyers of our practice have also assessed whether these models can be implemented from the standpoint of regulatory rules of the Russian financial market. It was important for the client to understand which business models can be implemented in the new legal reality and which cannot. Our advice has helped the client to avoid mistakes that could entail significant fines.
