Labor and Migration in Russia

Our team assists clients on all the legal aspects of labor and migration matters, advising on all issues of labor regulations — from preparing employment agreements to obtaining permissions to hire foreign employees and individual work permits. We work with many multinational companies needing assistance in this often challenging area. We have also been involved in collective labor disputes and negotiations with trade unions, which have become more common recently in the Russian labor market.

Our CIS practice is composed of 24 professionals who understand the challenges of personnel planning and labor negotiations in the developing markets of the CIS.
