Contracts and Transactions with Russian Counterparties

Prepare, review and negotiate the Russian legal aspects of a commercial agreement. Start with the intended transaction, the draft documents and the allocation of responsibilities between advisers.

When to contact us

  • A supply or services agreement is being negotiated.
  • You need a review of an existing draft before signing.
  • A transaction requires confirmation of authority or corporate approvals.
  • Payment, delivery or liability clauses need a clearer legal framework.

What the engagement may include

  • Drafting and revision of contractual terms and supporting documents.
  • Review of signing authority, approvals and agreed conditions to completion.
  • Performance, liability, applicable law and dispute resolution provisions.
  • A negotiation position and support for the agreed legal stages of the transaction.

What you receive

A marked-up or agreed draft, a list of legal risks and open points, and documents for the stages included in the engagement. Material decisions and unresolved issues are discussed before signing.

Bank payment processing, customs clearance and sanctions advice for every jurisdiction are not included automatically. Foreign-law and specialist issues require an agreed scope and suitable advisers.

Getting started

First identify the parties’ roles, the Russian connection and any deadline without sending confidential documents. After the conflict check, the scope, documents, timetable and fee are agreed. Advice is tied to the facts and materials supplied.

  1. Send a brief first enquiry and identify the Russian issue.
  2. We check whether the engagement can be accepted, including conflicts and communication arrangements.
  3. Agree the scope and price of a consultation or initial assessment before it takes place.
  4. Agree further work, fees, expenses, authority and engagement documents.
  5. Carry out the work, discuss key decisions, report progress and deliver agreed results.

Working across borders

The engagement covers Russian law. Foreign-law questions, translation, certification and the participation of local advisers are agreed as needed. The language of this page does not imply a foreign professional qualification.

Questions before you start

Can you work with our draft?

Yes. Provide a brief description first; the secure exchange of the draft follows the conflict check.

Can the agreement be bilingual?

The language versions, controlling text and translation review can be agreed. A translation is not automatically a foreign-law opinion.

Can our foreign lawyer participate?

Yes. The allocation of Russian and foreign-law tasks and communication is agreed at the start.

Does transaction support include every step?

Only the legal stages expressly agreed. Banking, accounting and operational work are identified separately.
