Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners has provided BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity Belgium with a red flag analysis of contracts for the provision of freight forwarding and customs representative services and storage.
According to EPAM, “the research was conducted in connection with a potential investment by [BNP Paribas] in the group of commodity trading Russian companies. During the project, the attorneys identified some red flags, in particular, the lack of registration of the contractor – a transport company – which was necessary for customs clearance. The conclusions of the analysis helped to protect [BNP Paribas] from potential contractual risks as well as to develop an effective strategy in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation for its future investments.”
The Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners team included Counsel Alexey Karchiomov, Associate Yulia Beliakova, and Paralegal Arina Nikulushkina.
