The Development of Legal Mechanisms to Protect Businesses

Congress Centre, conference hall B2
The Business Environment, Corporate Governance, and the Legal Services Market
Broadcast
Given the external pressure currently being exerted on Russia, supporting domestic business and providing it with guarantees is an absolute must. In 2023, Russia managed to successfully institutionalize business crimes, with the relevant concept being introduced into Article 5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. How important is it to humanize criminal proceedings and legislation? How sufficient is the level of legal, including procedural, guarantees for entrepreneurs? Do businesses and the government interact effectively? What are the advantages of Russian jurisdiction for doing business, and what further steps need to be taken to develop it? What legal mechanisms are needed today to protect business, and what should the government be paying attention to? What new formats of interaction between the government and business community have proven to be effective?
