CIS LCN made a joint presentation at the "Doing Business in the CIS: Hot Issues"
On 20 April 2012, CIS Leading Counsel Network (CIS LCN), including AEQUITAS, made a joint presentation at the "Doing Business in the CIS: Hot Issues" panel of the Spring Meeting of the American Bar Association (ABA) International Law Section which took place in New York.
Managing partners of the leading national law firms (AEQUITAS Managing Partner Olga Chentsova and Partner Tatyana Suleyeva among them) from key jurisdictions across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) economic region presented a unique local insight and legal advice on the hot issues of doing business in the region, which is increasingly attracting international investments. The panel discussion included the most interesting developments concerning the business environment, M&A, and foreign investment issues. The audience not only learned about some of the world's most rapidly developing economies, but also got the best local advice on how to avoid traps and pitfalls and safeguard investments in Russia and the CIS region based on the local expertise of the panelists and participants.
The audience was presented with publications co-authored by LCN members: Comparative Summary of Anticorruption Laws in the CIS Economic Region, Comparative Summary of Antitrust Laws in the CIS Economic Region and CIS: Tax Compass.
Following a successful presentation in New York at the American Bar Association Spring Meeting, representatives of the CIS LCN travelled to Washington DC where they held a lunch discussion on 23 April 2012 at the offices of Paton Boggs LLP discussing legal issues and tips on doing business across the CIS. Nine senior partners representing every member of the CIS LCN, including Olga Chentsova and Tatyana Suleyeva, spoke at the event.
