Briefings in English - 2010
Important changes to Russian immigration lawRecent changes to Russian immigration law will introduce significant changes to the procedure for obtaining work permits for foreign employees. This briefing looks at some of these changes, including the introduction of the ‘highly-qualified professional’ category of foreign employees. (May 2010)
Restrictive covenants across Europe and AsiaRecent studies confirm that the scramble for global talent is high on employers’ agendas. Global companies that were largely introspective, focusing on cost-cutting and downsizing during 2009, are now considering how best to adapt to dealing with those long-awaited ‘green shoots of recovery’. The steps taken during 2009 to reduce head count may not have left companies with the right blend of employee skill and experience to maximise the opportunities for recovery and therefore the search for global talent is now on. Employers are considering not just their own key staff, but, more important, are looking at the talent of their competitors.This guide gives a flavour of the types of protections available and associated issues that arise in some key jurisdictions. (April 2010)
Trading Russian securities abroad: amendments to the rules on depositary receipts programmesNew amendments allow Russian issuers to establish ‘zero-balance’ depositary receipt programmes. This briefing looks at the conditions that apply when establishing such a programme. (March 2010)
