Since the late 1980s, when foreign investment in Russia first became possible, lawyers in Orrick’s Russian Practice Group have been at the forefront of legal developments relating to foreign investment in Russia, including the first Russian oil and gas production sharing project, the first project financings, the first proxy fight involving a Russian publicly traded company and the first Russian property development projects. Orrick lawyers have provided advice to the Russian government on the development of corporate, oil and gas and telecommunications legislation.

In almost two decades of practice, our lawyers have developed unparalleled experience in finding solutions to our clients’ needs in Russia’s challenging and rapidly changing legal and economic environment.
