On March 25, 2025, the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AmCham) held a hybrid meeting of its Legal Affairs Committee, dedicated to legal and strategic considerations for foreign businesses reassessing their presence in the Russian market.

Vitaliy Zhigulin, Partner at Kesarev, delivered a presentation on government relations strategies for companies contemplating a return to Russia. He analyzed the current regulatory environment, key stakeholders, and provided practical recommendations for navigating the evolving business landscape.

The discussion also covered critical aspects of market re-entry, including regulatory challenges and operational frameworks for returning businesses, sector-specific opportunities, particularly in energy and natural resources and alternative contractual structures and risk mitigation strategies for joint ventures.

Kesarev continues its active participation in AmCham's Legal Affairs Committee and will contribute to future discussions on these important topics. Follow our updates for announcements on upcoming engagements.
