Just as psychology and neuroscience have exposed the flaws in our criminal justice architecture, they can also provide a new blueprint for rethinking the system based on a realistic model of human behavior. Click here to read the latest issue on the troubling truth about our legal system. First of all, companies of different organizational and legal forms can now participate in the reorganization. For example, a limited liability company can now be merged with a public company. That was a big deal. If someone wanted to consolidate the company into a single company, but the group included companies of different legal forms (joint-stock companies and limited liability companies), they first had to be “brushed”, they all had to be brought together in one form. It took time and money for inventory, shareholder meetings, etc. How has the crisis affected the demand for legal services? Which firms and legal counsel services do you consider most in demand today? This 7th issue of RDS Legal Insight magazine contains 5 articles written by our colleagues: Each crisis leads to an increase in competition, a change in the price of legal services. How have your way of working and prices changed? Do you feel like you`re being abandoned by your competitors? Legal advice is becoming more flexible and adaptable to meet the needs of clients who were in difficult circumstances. First of all, budgets are reduced – and here it is important to react quickly and adequately, that is, not to reduce quality, but only to offer the customer services that benefit the customer. For example, you should not insist and try to sell complex project support, if analyzing possible transaction patterns and reviewing key documents would suffice for the client. It is not necessary to include the work of your entire team (from legal assistants to partners) in the price of services at once, if the client only needs a technical part (to submit documents to the government agency) or, on the contrary, only essential assistance (at a stage of negotiation on the transaction). Prices have really changed, the withdrawal of hourly rates is observed even more frequently.

In almost four years, we have completed many unique projects. Often, especially in difficult corporate restructuring and integration projects, the client is faced with a very specific objective – that everything goes smoothly, this “everything” includes many others, except corporate and legal issues. At the same time, of course, we have many projects that require purely legal skills. My business idea was not to create another law firm, but something bigger, and above all – something more interesting and beneficial for clients. In this sense, the creation of a law firm independent of Branan Legal in Branan, which had already been operating at the time in the administrative and strategic consulting market for 12 years, was unique.

Insights on Law & Society is published several times a year by the American Bar Association Division for Public Education. The mission of the department is to educate the public about the law and its role in society. Insights helps secondary school teachers in civics, government, history and law; developers of law-related educational programs; and others who work with the public to educate about law and legal issues. Funding for this topic was provided by the American Bar Association Fund for Justice and Education. Secondly, all legal entities can now combine different forms of reorganization (not just the joint-stock company), i.e. the tool has become universal. Unfortunately, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation grants such rights, but does not specify how to do so. Together with colleagues from ministries and companies, we are now trying to solve this task in laws and profile statutes.

Comprehensive reforms of civil legislation, economic factors, new trends in the development of legal affairs often change the rules of the game for companies – clients of legal services and consultants. Today, legal counsel must adapt as quickly as possible to these new conditions in order to meet client expectations. What changes are happening in the legal field, how to develop large projects through the efforts of a small team, why consultants rely more on friendship, what distinguishes venture lawyers from others and how to appreciate their work – we talked about this and much more with Maxim Bunyakin, Managing Partner of Branan Legal. Today, many say that the future of the legal services market lies in Asia. Russian law firms strive to enter into alliances with companies from China, Japan or Korea, seeking clients from these jurisdictions. How do you assess this trend? At the same time, going back to market trends, there is of course an increase in the number of consultants. Perhaps this is the impact of the crisis. The company`s next “boom” is underway, with partners going out to start businesses. Nowadays, not only small teams of several lawyers, but also individual consultants perfectly manage the solution of key project problems, with difficult legal issues, outsourcing of individual tasks.

I admit, I have a passion for restructuring, I caught up with this “flu” a long time ago, and it has already become a chronic form. Since approx. For 10 years, I have been involved in the reorganization, I have participated and led many unique projects. Needless to say, our restructuring legislation had many good instruments before new changes were introduced, but very few have used them. First of all, I refer to Article 19.1 of the Federal Law on Joint Stock Companies (division or allocation at the same time as merger or accession). Such restructuring plans have been implemented, for example, by RAO UES of Russia, MTS, INTER RAO UAS. These mechanisms are useful when business challenges are aimed at isolating and consolidating a particular type of activity in a group of enterprises (services, non-core activities, etc.), reducing control of the enterprise, accelerating the transfer of an asset to another entity, etc. This edition of Insights explores the history of the census and how it leads to local planning and funding. Since 1 September 2014 (from the date of amendment of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), the legislator has significantly expanded the possibilities for implementing new reorganization plans. 4. Purchase of properties sold at auction – Does this result in a private contract with Chargee Bank? Having gained extensive professional experience acting on behalf of the client, hiring and managing consultants, I understood that I had a good opportunity to apply the skills acquired and broaden professional horizons. 2.

With great power comes great responsibility: duties and responsibilities of an administrator In addition, if there is a complex task, you should always be able to win the proven partners. To this end, it is absolutely optional to keep them on staff. In my opinion, the consultants are now much more in friendship. However, there are a few important nuances that I seem to be successfully trying to explain to customers. What allows our team to carry out large projects with relatively few people? We are mobilized, we distribute the tasks, we build the work individually for each specific project. If necessary, we work nights and weekends. 3. Digital Banking Licensing: Regulatory Compliance and Privacy Considerations Filing taxes is a mammoth undertaking for business owners because they understand the intricacies of business or business-related taxes When starting a business with physical premises, you need to learn about the six types of The terms “ESG” and “due diligence” are frequently circulated on news sites and business forums lately.
