Russian legislation is complex and constantly changing. Non-compliance can lead to unexpected costs, difficulties in selling the company to a potential investor, additional tax risks, and liability for the company and its employees. For this reason, auditing and due diligence for a company in Russia is one of the most sought-after services today, especially in the current context of sanctions, counter-sanctions, and frequent regulatory changes.
With regular legal audits, you can identify and prevent negative consequences, ensuring the proper management of your company in Russia.
ORIENTEXPORT, in collaboration with the LOCALE law firm, offers Italian companies a comprehensive audit and due diligence service to highlight critical issues, reduce risks, and manage your business in Russia with complete safety.
