Our services

Investors often face problems when choosing among legal structures for their business in Russia.


A foreign legal entity can choose to establish a presence in Russia through a representative office or branch. Representative offices of foreign entities are strictly limited to liaison and support functions. Branch offices are free to perform all of a foreign entity’s activities. Many investors opt for branch offices at the outset because these entities are able to engage in any kind of commercial activity, easier to establish and subject to less onerous reporting requirements than those in place for Russian companies. At the same time, for many investments, including joint ventures and production plants, and owing to issues relating to licensing, customs and privatization of state property, a Russian legal entity may be better suited to an investor’s needs. The most common forms of corporate structure in Russia are Limited Liability Companies (LLC) and Joint Stock Companies (JSC). Foreign companies often use LLCs for their wholly-owned businesses in Russia.


Our Legal services include legal support for the branches / representative offices of foreign and Russian legal entities opening, starting with consulting on adoption the appropriate decision until receiving the documents confirming the branch / representative office of foreign and Russian legal entities opening as well as opening of bank accounts in various Russian banks.
