  • National public order. Adoption of the Draft

    The Presidium of the Supreme Commercial Court of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - SCC RF) adopted by the Informative Letter No. 156 dated the 26th of February, 2013 (hereinafter - the Informative Letter) on Review of the consideration by arbitrazh courts of the cases on the implementation of the public order clause as the ground for rejection of the recognition and enforcement of the foreign court decisions and arbitral awards.
  • Top HR Trends: Regulation and Enforcement Practice

    During 2012 there were a number of changes in the sphere of HR from the employment law standpoint. Among the upheaval, some key trends became evident in HR-related regulation and law-enforcement practice. First thing that we would note is the rising attention to detail among employers. In previous years companies devoted much time to massive restructuring and downsizing projects, meaning that they had little time for current issues. Now businesses are spending more time on bringing their internal policies and HR paperwork into line with the laws and best practice. In this way, they avoid problems with their employees rather than closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.
  • SOCHI AN EXAMPLE OF HOW RUSSIA’S DECADE OF SPORT CAN TRANSFORM SPORTS FACILITIES

    This year marks the start of a five-year period in which the eyes of the sporting world will be on Russia. In the summer of 2013, Kazan will host the Universiade, or World University Games, while the World Athletics Championship will take place in Moscow. In 2014, the Winter Olympics come to Sochi, and a year later some of Kazan’s new facilities will be put to use again when the city stages the World Aquatics Championships. Next up is the World Ice Hockey Championships, in St Petersburg and Moscow, in 2016, before soccer’s World Cup puts on its month-long show all across the European part of the country in 2018.

  • OUTSOURCING IN RUSSIA: ADVANTAGES AND RISKS

    The word outsourcing has become a staple of Russian business language, but is still not encountered in Russian law. Generally, outsourcing contrasts with the leasing of personnel in that outsourcing involves certain business processes being contracted out to an external service provider. Outsourcing is typically used to transfer processes that are vital for the company’s activity but are of an auxiliary nature to its core activities: for example, IT, HR processes and payroll.
  • Negotiations, mediation, litigation or arbitration: what to take into account in dispute resolution

    In a modern world, an important trend promoting ethical business practice is for civil society to regulate itself when resolving legal disputes. The increased burden on the courts and a growing number of business entities and disputes between them, have resulted in increased attention to different types of dispute resolution procedures. It would be helpful to highlight certain advantages and disadvantages of the relevant method for resolving a dispute in the economic field, as this may help to choose the method that is the most efficient in a specific situation.
  • NEW LEGAL CHANGES SET TO TRANSFORM THE TENANCY MARKET

    The Russian Supreme Commercial Court's approach to the landlord and tenant sector is marked by its balance. In its attempts to tailor its approach to the developing practice on the Russian market, the Court is trying to meet the needs of both tenants and landlords.
