Obtained approval from the Government Commission for intra-group transactions with respect to purchasing a Russian company

The team of our practice group represented the interests of the client in a project that involved obtaining the approval of the sub-commission of the Government Commission on Monitoring Foreign Investment in Russia with respect to intra-group transactions involving the purchase of the shares of Russian business entities.
Our lawyers advised the client on the legal and tax aspects of the intra-group restructuring: the shares of limited liability companies that were held by companies from unfriendly states were being sold to a company from a friendly state. Our specialists prepared the transaction documents and supported the client right up until the transaction was completed and the asset was transferred.

Lately the team of the corporate practice has been advising foreign owners of businesses on the issues involved in the sale of a Russian business and having transactions approved by the Government Commission, the making of investments and structuring of personal ownership in companies.
