Analysed risks connected with direct investments abroad

The team from our practice group advised a large international manufacturer of food products on issues of direct investments in foreign production assets in friendly states.

Our lawyers advised the client on the current rules of currency legislation taking account of the Russian President’s Decrees in relation to the procedure for paying for shares and other assets in friendly states. We provided the client with recommendations for proving the equivalent nature of business activity and actual nature of the planned currency transactions to avoid complaints from currency control authorities.

The experience we obtained is relevant for any Russian company wishing to develop a network of operating subsidiaries abroad.
