Legislative work

Legislative work

Pepeliaev Group’s lawyers have enormous experience of drafting laws and, over many years, have been engaged to work on expert councils to improve legislation at the request of the State Duma and the Council of the Federation, as well as the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the Russian Accounts Chamber and other senior state authorities.

When those affected by a legislative initiative, trade associations and major companies turn to us, we become involved in the process of legislative drafting on both the federal and regional levels. 

Services

  • Assessing the implications for business of draft laws being developed by state authorities and other organisations, and coming up with proposals to modify such draft laws;
  • Identifying systemic problems in legislation, and administrative and court decisions applying it, that require amendments to legislation;
  • Studying experience overseas of how similar legal issues are regulated;
  • Preparing proposals for amendments to legislation and justifying them on economic and legal grounds;
  • Drafting laws and sending them to those affected by a legislative initiative;
  • Lobbying draft laws before the state authorities by acting as legal experts;
  • Arranging public hearings, discussions and meetings in relation to issues arising from draft laws.

Projects

YouTube in the CIS: When “Outside Russia” Does Not Mean “Risk-Free”

Team:  
Analysed and optimised documents relating to the promotion of pharmaceutical products
Further to the client’s request, the lawyers of the practice area analysed a vast volume of various documents on services involving the promotion of pharmaceutical products on the Russian market and compared their content with the court practice and position of the tax authorities on whether such services are subject to VAT.
