FAQ
Is it possible to file a claim at the place where the contract is performed?
In Russian state courts, as a rule, in order to apply alternative jurisdiction, the place of performance must be expressly indicated in the contract. Otherwise, general territorial jurisdiction is applied - at the location of the defendant.
However, the situation is less clear-cut in cases where your opponent is a foreign company or the dispute as a whole has a foreign element. More precisely, it can be said based on the specific circumstances of the case.

Liability for Defects Identified During the Project Implementation Stage
When defects are identified during the project implementation stage, the key issue becomes determining who is responsible for them. Unlike everyday disputes, where identifying the responsible party is simpler, construction projects involve several participants, each responsible for their own scope of work.
The designer is responsible for the accuracy of the design documentation. Even if the documentation has undergone expert review and received a positive conclusion, this does not exempt the designer from subsequent liability. If errors in calculations, inconsistencies in drawings, or violations of technical regulations are discovered during construction, the designer must revise the documentation and compensate the customer for damages.

Russian Tax Liabilities, Audit Risks, and Criminal Exposure for Foreign-Owned Companies and Directors
Foreign corporations, international investors, and non-resident executives operating subsidiaries or commercial branches in the Russian Federation face heightened scrutiny from the Federal Tax Service (FTS) and enforcement authorities. Russia’s tax administration relies on automated digital monitoring systems—including cross-border transaction tracking and unified tax accounting—making compliance failures costly. Unpaid tax liabilities exceeding RUB 18.75 million trigger mandatory criminal referrals under Article 199 of the Russian Criminal Code, exposing company executives and beneficial owners to personal liability, asset freezing, and criminal prosecution.
