Islamic banks and English lawyers were discussed at the forum in St. Petersburg

The V International Legal Forum, held in St. Petersburg, brought together more than 3.5 thousand guests from 84 countries. The prospects for the development of Islamic banking and Anglo-Saxon law became the main topics for discussion – after the sanctions, of course.

“Sorry for the sound like in double news,” a listener of a round table dedicated to the political risks of cross-border corporations began her question to the foreign speakers. And she was right. The technical aspect of holding the anniversary (fifth) St. Petersburg International Legal Forum caused confusion. The translators’ headphones were malfunctioning, the microphones partly did not work, and partly they worked so loudly that the participants in different tracks (separated from each other only by curtains) shouted over each other. Against the backdrop of bravura statements that we don’t care about sanctions, the difference in the level of organization of the 2015 and 2014 forums was especially striking to foreign lawyer guests (who, unlike politicians, are not afraid to travel to sanctioned countries).

Even before the start of the forum in the House of Justice on St. Isaac’s Square, the Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation Alexander Konovalov gathered his colleagues from the Ministries of Justice of the SCO countries for the conference. Ministers Berrik Imashev from Kazakhstan and Rustam Shokhmurod from Tajikistan, as well as lower-ranking colleagues from Iran, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, responded to his call.

The main topic of discussion, of course, was sanctions, which were unanimously recognized as an absolute evil and completely illegal. But Konovalov and Imashev differed in their views on Anglo-Saxon law and the export of British justice to Eurasian countries. If the first called it a “capture of legal markets” and promised to fight it, the second noted that a financial center is being created in Astana, similar to Dubai, which will work precisely on the principles of Anglo-Saxon law, and for this Nursultan Nazarbayev is even ready to go for constitutional reform.

The theme of Dubai was continued the next day by the President of the Arab-European Association, Maxim Tafintsev, who held a conference on the prospects for the development of Islamic banking in the Russian Federation. This very Islamic banking has been actively developing for several years in Kazakhstan: after the collapse of the Turan-Alem bank during the 2008 crisis, the head of the neighboring republic drew attention to the trillions of dollars that were circulating in the Mohammedan financial world.

Our authorities remained deaf to the Muslim lobby literally until mid-2014. And they listen to it even more carefully now that financial flows from the West have become unavailable: the topic of reform allowing Islamic banks to operate in Russia is being discussed in the State Duma and the Federation Council. Even the head of Sberbank, German Gref, spoke today in favor of the development of Islamic banking in Russia and promised to develop it in every possible way. And in the conference hall, the dp.ru correspondent was able to notice very attentive listeners from Rosatom, Roscosmos and Rosneft. “China is, of course, our friend, but a very bureaucratic and politicized friend,” said Tafintsev. “And Islamic banks are very easy-going. This is important for our infrastructure projects.”

Round tables on the reform of the Civil Code were sold out among lawyers. They listened reverently to the former head of the Supreme Arbitration Court, Anton Ivanov, and to the deputies of the State Duma and the Federation Council. But managing partners of large law firms gathered on tracks dedicated to capital amnesty, hunting for assets of debtors abroad, as well as wealth management (management of personal assets of VIP clients). On the last track, consultants from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Croatia spoke about the peculiarities of real estate taxation in these countries, for example, the now former vice president of Rosneft for corporate issues, Igor Maydannik, who quit just a week ago, came to listen. “There are plans,” he admitted, “but that’s later. For now, travel.”

Tightened belts, bottlenecks and legal tenders

Both the heads of consulting firms and the customers of their services do not see the near future of the legal business in rosy colors. There has been a freeze in politics and economics, it’s time to tighten our belts and not look with much hope at the East—it’s difficult to work with it, they agreed at the VII International IBA Conference. Here, lawyers learned, for example, how to find “bottlenecks” in the management of a firm that prevent them from making money. They also managed to discuss the chances of large corporations becoming desirable clients for lawyers. Businesses are interested in how to behave under sanctions and deoffshorization and how to win tax and corporate disputes, said a corporation lawyer. Large businesses with state participation are increasingly placing orders through tenders, but where to complain about violations is not always clear, marketers agree.

“Russia remains an important jurisdiction,” assured the President of the International Bar Association (IBA) Michael Reynolds, opening the annual IBA conference “Law Firm Management”. It took place last Friday, November 28, 2014, at the Moscow Marriott Royal Aurora hotel. Reynolds promised IBA support to the Russian Federal Chamber of Lawyers: the parties are going to discuss established practice in the field of regulation of the legal profession, he said. The first vice-president of the FPA, senior partner of the law firm YUST, Yuriy Pilipenko, did not remain in debt. He noted the warming of relations between the legal profession and the domestic Ministry of Justice over the past few years and stated that the legal community owes this to interaction within the IBA (the forum was held for the seventh time, and the IBA also supports the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, which has been taking place since 2011). But much more attention has been paid to the colder weather in public spheres. “Freezes in politics and economics” will inevitably affect the Russian legal market, Pilipenko believes. Nobody argued.

Tighten your belts and don’t look to the East with optimism

“Lack of growth in the Eurozone, halt in investment projects, insecurity and uncertainty,” Michael Roch, CEO of the British consulting company KermaPartners, described the key trends of the near future. Private capital and large corporations are the hope for lawyers in these conditions, Roch noted. There were no private investors at the conference, but a representative of the latter, Valery Sidnev, director of legal affairs at Eurochem, a fertilizer production company, responded. “Everything that could be worse has happened,” he said about sanctions, the modernization of the judicial sector and civil law, the law on controlled foreign companies (introduced to the Duma at the end of October, which involves paying taxes in Russia for owners of foreign companies, more >> ). But Russian corporations will need legal services, Sidnev believes. We are talking about narrow issues of sanctions and de-offshorization, and about a wider range of tax and corporate litigation, domestic mergers and acquisitions, which may revive during a crisis, Sidnev listed the areas. He also expressed the hope that banking lawyers will become more “creative” in conditions when the usual international capital markets are closed. “Russian business views this as a challenge,” he concluded.

“Not everything has happened that could happen,” Yuri Pilipenko warned him and his listeners. – It makes sense to expect new initiatives; there are very creative people in our Duma.

Another strategic direction for the Russian legal business could be cooperation with Asian firms, Sidnev believes, although he makes a reservation about the specifics of the region. As an example, he cited two EuroChem transactions. According to him, the acquisition of a small plant in China, which took four months to build, had to be coordinated with the local antimonopoly service for almost a year (reports about the construction of a joint venture between EuroChem and Migao Corporation appeared in November 2013.) Sidnev contrasted this case with the acquisition of a plant in Belgium, worth $1 billion – this deal was agreed upon in just 2.5 months, he said (EuroChem acquired a plant in Antwerp from BASF in April 2012). Pilipenko also warned against an optimistic attitude towards the East. “It’s difficult to work with them,” he said. he believes. He also backed up his words with an example: a one-page general agreement between the Russian Federal Chamber of Lawyers and Japanese colleagues without financial obligations took eight years to negotiate. “We are Europeans after all,” Pilipenko is sure.

Both YUST partner and Andrey Dontsov, partner at the international law firm White&Case, agreed that in general law firms will have to tighten their belts and get used to lower payment rates than before. But while domestic companies can find work by providing support to government agencies, an international firm may fare worse. According to Dontsov, we can only hope for the central offices, which “live well, profits and turnover are growing.” But when the bad times end, mid-level lawyers may be needed, Dontsov believes, and if you don’t start forming their layer now, “it will be difficult,” he believes. Other areas of work were also announced from the audience.

“From the experience of Iranian colleagues who spent 10 years under sanctions, I can say: develop criminal legal practice,” suggested listener Maxim Tafintsev.

And some believe that in crisis conditions it is worth thinking about new regions. Managing partner of the Alrud law firm, Vasily Rudomino, recalled that there are no offices of international law firms in Africa yet.

“Bottlenecks” in the finances of Russian and foreign companies

Before entering new markets, it makes sense to understand current problems: a session on financial management in a law firm was a success. The lawyers were told how the managerial “theory of constraints” works. As the co-organizer of the session, managing partner of the consulting company Legal Stratagency Alexander Khvoshchinsky, said, for any business process there are limitations caused by the human factor, existing procedures or markets – they can be called “bottlenecks” or “bottlenecks”. The general algorithm for eliminating them, Khvoshchinsky said, consists of five steps. You should find the limitations, ensure that they are loaded, configure other elements of the system so that they provide a constant load on the bottleneck, ensure the productivity of the bottleneck, and, if necessary, look at the system again to see if new problems have appeared.

Participants had different examples of how firms had encountered and resolved bottlenecks. “FBK-Pravo” had problems with billing and writing off funds adequately for hours worked, said Alexander Ermolenko, a partner of this company. “To keep customers, you had to do something with the accounts,” he shared. But he didn’t talk in detail about the solution methods, he only expressed it in the abstract: the company had to minimize the “creative approach.” And the company Pen&Paper, shared its partner Valery Zinchenko, had problems with capricious clients who either delayed payment or pointedly started looking for a consultant. The problem was solved by emphasizing the importance of the client and individualizing the approach, Zinchenko said. Not everything goes smoothly with personnel either. As Zinchenko said, criminal lawyers who were called to the firm were often used to “meeting clients in a cafe” and dressing in sweaters; it was difficult for them to change their minds, start going to work in the office and wearing suits. Zinchenko did not specify how to deal with this, but mentioned at the end of the session that he was going to continue looking for new people.

There were also examples from foreign experience. Partner at the German firm SKS Steuerberatung, specializing in international taxation, Dmitro Sonkin, described how their company fought the German tradition of paying the consultant’s bill after at least two reminders. The problem was resolved by automatically debiting funds from the client account, Sonkin said. As he clarified in an interview with Pravo.Ru, the possibility of direct debiting of funds is included as a mandatory condition in the client agreement, and they do not enter into agreements on other terms.

When lawyers laugh while discussing tenders

We concluded the session with a discussion on how to conclude client agreements when winning tenders for the provision of legal services. Since the beginning of 2014, their number in Russia has increased by 26% compared to last year and exceeded 9,000, said Diana Megreladze, head of the consulting department of the Association of Electronic Trading Platforms (AETP; deals with organizational and legal issues of tendering). Most of the purchases were carried out in late autumn, and the most expensive contracts, Megreladze listed, were Sberbank, Atomstroyexport, Gazprom, Rosneft, the Ministry of Culture, the Committee on Competition Policy of the Moscow Region (also held tenders for construction and transport services in region), Ministry of Finance. According to AETP calculations, the average final contract price is reduced by 19% compared to the maximum.

The importance of tenders as a source of procurement of legal services has increased, both Russian and international consultants agree. Marketing director of the law firm “Liniya Prava” Irina Kanaykina said that last year their firm took part in 79 tenders, winning about 23% of them. She also noted an increase in the company’s income in 2014 due to won tenders – up to 38% of the company’s total revenue, compared to 12% last year. “This trend is not only Russian, but also global,” Elena Belousova, head of the marketing department at Linklaters in the CIS, supported her, citing the experience of colleagues from other offices of this international company. According to Belousova, in two years the number of tenders in Europe in which Linklaters participated increased by 170%.

Belousova advised that when choosing a tender, study the requirements in order to understand how well the company meets them, so as not to waste the energy of couriers and a copier on unpromising applications. There was talk about errors and inaccurate information. “Liniya Prava” encountered them, Kanaykina said, and the correct strategy turned out to be to ask for clarification and clarification. “If you see strange demands, don’t hesitate to call,” Belousova supported. According to her, oddities can occur due to copying from a previous ad or an error by an inexperienced employee. And Megreladze from AETP shared that “not entirely legal and not entirely logical” demands are common. If violations are clearly visible, it is worth filing a complaint with the antimonopoly service, she advised. The first row of listeners responded to this advice with sad laughter.

International lawyers have united to protect Russian business in Asia

Under the conditions of sanctions, the path to the West is practically closed for most large Russian banks. And if so, it is necessary to make their way to Asia easier by providing legal protection, according to the participants of the first International Legal Forum “The United Way: Investments and Law in Russia and Asia.”

“I am glad that my Russian colleagues support the One Belt, One Road initiative,” said Ambrose Lam, President of the Global Association of Chinese-Speaking Lawyers (PRC). He expressed hope that through joint efforts all emerging problems will be resolved. They, as he lamented, the organizer of the forum, head of the Russian-Asian Association of Lawyers (RAAU) Maxim Tafintsev, that’s enough.

Despite the fact that Chinese banks, after the introduction of sanctions in 2014, showed understanding for the problems of their Russian colleagues, there are difficulties in making payments for mutual supplies.

“In our bank, 2-4 percent of payments are either returned or do not reach the recipient,” said Maxim Osintsev, head of the department for work with Chinese banks of Sberbank. “Is this a lot or a little? Considering that about 140 thousand of them are processed per year, one can imagine volume for yourself." In addition, Russian business has virtually no protection of its interests in South Korea, explained Boris Sladkov, managing partner of the Korean-Russian trade and investment system CORTIS. And this problem can be solved, including with the help of organizations such as RAAU. Moreover, the Korean authorities have built a powerful system in Russia for the development of Korean business.
