Congress Centre, conference hall D2

As Russia restructures its foreign economic relations, Russian businesses have shown a growing interest in studying the features of the legal systems of key trading partners. The Soviet legal doctrine had a significant influence on the development of many of these countries, including China, Vietnam, Laos, Mongolia, Angola, and Cuba. The legal systems that have emerged as a result of this influence use entirely different legal institutions that differ conceptually from the legal institutions of continental law and common law with which Russian entrepreneurs are already familiar. The need to take swift and informed decisions in rapidly changing circumstances related to both trade as well as manufacturing and investment projects underscores the importance for Russian businesses of mastering the basic concepts of the legal thinking of their trading partners, as well as the importance of obtaining a thorough legal analysis of the legal systems that were influenced by Soviet law. What impact does the legacy of the Soviet legal system have on legal relations today? What legal developments could be effectively used in the current conditions?
