Target audience
- Companies operating in Russia and abroad
- Individuals owning foreign assets
The Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees inviolability of private property, which also applies to company assets. The owner can restore the right of ownership in court, but preventive measures aimed at protecting assets from claims of governmental authorities and illegal actions of third parties will be much more effective.
Enforce Law Company specializes in implementation of protective measures for companies and their beneficiaries to reduce their tax burden and minimize legal, tax, bankruptcy, and criminal risks. Methods of protecting property rights include arrangement of business corporate structures, protection from hostile acquisitions and infringement, establishment of limitations of rights and encumbrances, assistance in inheritance planning, and resolution of disputes between company owners.
Each protection method is devised individually depending on the nature of the activities of the entity. Our vast experience in this area helps us have a clear understanding of jurisdictions’ peculiarities and all nuances of drafting of international agreements enabling us to create efficient mechanisms of business protection from illegal actions of third parties.
