The plenary session of the forum was devoted to the topic “The agenda for lawyers in relation to recent political and economic developments”. Vasily Rudomino (ALRUD), Dmitry Afanasyev (EPAM), Andrey Goltsblat (BCLP), Igor Kondrashov (Sberbank), Sergey Pepeliaev (Pepeliaev Group), Andrey Yukov (Yukov and Partners), Andrey Yakovlev (Yakovlev and Partners), Andrey Tsyganov (the FAS Russia) and Alexander Sitnikov (VEGAS LEX) took part in the session.
In the course of the discussion, Alexander Sitnikov, Managing partner of VEGAS LEX, shared legal solutions for national projects using the Comprehensive plan for upgrading and expanding core transport networks until 2024 as an example.
"The first thing is that usage of the above legal solutions for successful transactions where we can together distribute effectively risks between the public and the private partners, use proper instruments, ensure stability owing to the fact that long-term plans and objectives will be incorporated into corporate documents, and where we can incorporate efficient conflict resolution mechanisms. Laws and regulations will be adopted giving significant weight to opinions of the professional legal community, and judicial quasi-settlement will take a back seat due to lack of necessity," Mr Sitnikov underlined. ***
