Starting from March 2022, restrictions were introduced on transactions by Russian companies with the participation of persons from “unfriendly” countries, as well as persons controlled by them. Obtaining permits for such transactions is now regulated by a special order and procedure, owing to that fact they can be carried out only after permission is obtained from the Government Commission for the Control of Foreign Investments in the Russian Federation.
Over the past year, our lawyers from the Transactions & Corporate Law Practice have had the chance to successfully complete a number of such transactions through the Government Commission. That we boast many years of experience in the field of mergers and acquisitions under Russian and foreign law allows us to provide high-quality legal support in coordinating transactions with the Government Commission and comprehensive support of Russian and foreign entities within the framework of this procedure.
