This article posted on our partner site Mondaq.com details the various types of business entities in Russia and regulatory issues which may arise in a joint venture.

Some joint venture proposals may require approval from Russian antimonopoly authorities. The business entities discussed include:

• (1) a Russian joint stock company;
• (2) a Russian limited liability company; and
• (3) a non-Russian company with a wholly-owned Russian operating subsidiary.

This comes to you as a part of Clausehound's exciting new collaboration with Mondaq!
