Russian Law

We have attorneys who have been doing Russian business since before Yeltsin, an experienced Russian specialist on staff, and an extensive network of associated Russian counsel throughout the Russian Far East and in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Our attorneys have been assisting foreign companies with their Russian business strategies for more than twenty years, and we are well-equipped to help you determine the best methods for beginning or expanding your operations in Russia. We have worked on countless formations of various entities in Russia, and we understand the pros and the cons of each of them. In this article, Russian Entity Formation: Wholly Foreign Owned Entity (WFOE) Versus Representative Office, we analyze the pros and cons of these two ways of beginning operations in Russia.

Harris & Moure can assist you in forming and registering businesses anywhere in Russia, documenting and flagging vessels in any Russian Far East port, negotiating your Russian contract, or resolving your Russian dispute. Perhaps most importantly, we can help you conduct the due diligence necessary before entering into any business with an unfamiliar company in an unfamiliar place.

Russian Investment

We have assisted American, European, and Asian companies with their investments in Russia. We can help you determine the proper entity for your Russian business, and then assist you in all aspects of setting up your company there. Most importantly, we will conduct all necessary due diligence regarding the companies and individuals with whom you will be doing business.
