Anastasia Cheredova for CEE Legal Matters magazine: Sanctions-Related Amendments in Russian Commercial Procedure

As of June 19, 2020, Russian arbitrazh (commercial) courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear certain cases related to “anti-Russian” sanctions. Affected legal entities and individuals may also apply for anti-suit injunctions in an attempt to prevent counterparties from pursuing claims abroad. Recent cases show that these new entitlements are not as favorable as once thought.

Russian pharmaceutical market today and tomorrow – legal overview

The Russian pharmaceutical market is one of the fastest growing in the world, and it has always been attractive for foreign pharmaceutical manufacturers. However, a policy on import substitution, defined in the State Program "Development of Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry for 2013-2020," resulted in elaboration of several restrictive initiatives. At the same time, certain new regulatory instruments were introduced to create additional incentives for localization and investments. Therefore, the key purpose of this overview is to describe the main regulatory trends, associated legal risks and opportunities for pharmaceutical manufacturers in 2016-2017 in Russia.

Anastasia Cheredova for CEE Legal Matters magazine: Pleading and Proof of Foreign Law in Commercial State Courts

Generally, the responsibility for interpreting foreign laws lies with the state commercial court. Parties have a right, but are not obliged to, render assistance and provide the court with information concerning statutory provisions of foreign laws. However, if the content of the foreign law is not ascertained with reasonable expediency, Russian law applies. Anastasia Cheredova, Head of the Special Projects Group, clarified the European magazine 'CEE Legal Matters' on the Russian approach to the nature of foreign law, methods of proof, as well as pitfalls that parties may face.

Business in Russia. Antimonopoly enforcement risks for foreigners

Do the requirements outlined in Russian antimonopoly legislation apply to foreign companies whose activities could potentially influence the state of competition in the Russian Federation? Regulatory enforcement and court practice suggests what the answer is - they most likely do. Keeping this in mind, in some cases foreign companies should take into account the restrictions legally established in the Russian Federation, as well as monitor trends in administrative and judicial practice, when disputes are being reviewed involving prosecution for allegedly violating these requirements.
