Myriad Rus generated a public discussion of the new draft law on corporate affairs
The Myriad Rus experts assessed the impact of a bill 996950-7 by the State Duma representative Mikhail Emelyanov (Fair Russia, Rostov Region) concerning the government regulation of the conversion of public companies into private on the corporate relations system. Analytics claim some amendments potentially conflict with the federal law.
After the internal task force discussion, the Department of Government Relations circulated the draft law review to the key market regulator, the Bank of Russia, and to the professional society within federal authorities and public organizations.
In late December, the State Duma Committee on Financial Market and the federal Ministry of Economic Development commended the Myriad Rus experts for the detailed review that will serve as the basis for the government opinion on the draft law.
