As authorities in Russia and elsewhere in the CIS increasingly see natural resources as an industry of strategic significance, assessment of risks becomes a critical task for any market participant. We help our clients to assess legal risks and advise on the requirements for entry into the sector. We have a long track record in conducting due diligence investigations and counseling on granting, transfer and termination of mineral rights. Since the opening of our Moscow office in 1989 Baker & McKenzie has been involved in some of the most challenging and innovative transactions in the region. Over the past 20 years we have built a reputation as a reliable legal advisor combining in-depth knowledge of legal matters with business intelligence.
