The Pepeliaev Group and Russin & Vecchi law firms have formed a strategic alliance aimed at providing legal support to clients in Vladivostok, the Primorsky Krai region, and the Russian Far East.
The alliance’s representatives will provide legal support in areas such as the fuel and power industry, natural resources law, transport, construction, tourism, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, telecoms, marine law, agriculture and timber processing.
The firms report that they have already started to collaborate actively in the context of the alliance: in early April they held a seminar in Vladivostok on the "Legal Aspects of Doing Business in the Russian Far East in 2014." During this event, the firms discussed tax difficulties, amendments to the Civil Code, and issues occurring as a result of the move towards deoffshorization, along with many other matters of interest to businesses in the region. Those taking part in the seminar included representatives from the Consulates General of South Korea and the USA, as well as Heads of Legal and senior managers from foreign companies doing business in the Far East, and senior figures from companies in the region.
The firms combined have more than 170 lawyers and more than 1,500 clients in Moscow, St Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, Vladivostok, and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, among other cities.
