Anyone doing business in Russia, or contemplating it, will appreciate this handy one-volume collection of all Russian laws related to business activity. The Third Edition of Russian Company Law presents superb English translations of laws, as amended through the end of 1999, governing the forms of ‘judicial person' offered to investors by the Russian Civil Code, including the Joint-Stock Society (ZAO or OAO) and the Limited Responsibility Society (OOO).
Also included are the laws on licensing of business activities, insurance, insolvency, banking, securities, foreign investment, noncommercial organisations, and philanthropic activities.
The editors' extremely valuable introductory essay provides clear guidance on such important issues as stockholder liability, withdrawal and expulsion rights of co-investors, required charter capital, and acquisition procedures.
