At the VIII Russian-Korean Business Dialogue that the ART DE LEX law firm, Korea International Trade Association, and the Chamber of Commerce of the Russian Federation organized at the Eastern Economic Forum, ART DE LEX presented the second edition of Doing Business in the Russian Federation, the firm’s legal guide for Korean investors and entrepreneurs. The partners and lawyers of ART DE LEX with the assistance of the Korea International Trade Association prepared the legal guide.
The managing partner of ART DE LEX, Dmitry Magonya, moderated the first session of the business dialogue and presented the new edition of the legal guide to the dialogue’s participants, a list that included the following individuals: the minister of the Russian Federation for the development of the Far East, Alexander Galushka; the minister of commerce, industry, and energy of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Sang Jik; the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the Republic of Korea, Kim Kyung Hong; the vice-president of the Association of International Trade of Korea, Kim Jong Kwan; the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, Georgy Petrov; and the heads of leading Korean companies.
The aim of the guide is to familiarize South Korean investors and entrepreneurs with the legal system of the Russian Federation, especially those aspects that present attractive business opportunities in the Russia of the twenty-first century. The content of the book reflects not only the basic legal provisions governing the key economic activities in Russia, but it also is an objective and practical tool for the application of Russian law to assist foreign entrepreneurs to achieve their goals.
The second edition of the guide contains updates about the most current legislation of the Russian Federation, including the main provisions of the civil law reforms that are designed to improve interactions with foreign enterprises and accelerate the development of the Far East.
A significant part of the book deals with issues dedicated to the establishment of preferential regimes for foreign investors, for example, in advancing socioeconomic development and in the Free Port of Vladivostok. Specialists of ART DE LEX played an active role in drafting the laws in both areas. At the forum, representatives from ART DE LEX presented an overview of the key aspects of investment strategies related to socioeconomic development and the Free Port of Vladivostok as well as the procedures to obtain the residency status required to benefit from the laws relating to entrepreneurial activity.
The authors of Doing Business in the Russian Federation are the South Korean Desk of ART DE LEX along with the partners and other lawyers in the firm. ART DE LEX expresses its gratitude for the support it received to release the book from the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Korea, especially Mikhail Bondarenko, from the Ministry for Development of Russian Far East, especially Deputy Minister Maxim Shereikin, and from Kim Kuk Soo, the president of the Institute of International Trade.
