Commercial contracts
(including real estate)

We help clients to develop standard form commercial contracts for doing business in Russia.
We also advise clients on lease, rental, supply, services, distribution, public utility and other commercial contracts.

In addition, some of our clients have asked us to carry out audits of documentation they use in business processes and to recommend changes to render them compliant with Russian legislation and ensure the protection of our clients' interests.
