John Reynolds on the Russian trend of London litigation

10:00 07/10/2013 Quite a few cases linked in one way or another to Russia have passed through England’s courts and arbitration tribunals.

As a result, the business development model had to be revised.

Russia's new migration policy

12:34 19/08/2013 The new migration program is the product of massive reforms announced by President Vladimir Putin in the lead up to the elections, where one’s perspective on the issue of inter-ethnic relations was widely considered to hold the keys to Russia. The plans include new approaches to checking the legality of migration documents, the establishment of special centers for those awaiting deportation, the increased strength of the FMS, and sanctions against employers hiring workers without due registration with the service.
