Martin Solc: Challenges lie ahead for Russia’s legal market

17:30 04/07/2013 The 8th Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) Local Counsel Forum, which was attended by legal market representatives of the CIS and Europe, was held in Kiev, Ukraine, last week. The International Bar Association (IBA) was represented by its Secretary General Martin Solc, who is also a partner of Kocian Solc Balastik (KSB), one of the largest law firms in the Czech Republic.

Juries in Russian Commercial Courts: details of the initiative

16:54 11/06/2013 Anton Ivanov, Chairman of the Supreme Commercial Court, wants elements of a jury trial introduced into the commercial litigation process.

However, although the initiative’s strategic aim is to increase trust in the judiciary and in commercial courts by increasing the public’s role in rulings, experts voiced skepticism about the idea in a conversation with RAPSI.

A business amnesty: Mission impossible

16:45 31/05/2013 The idea of an amnesty for thousands of Russian businesspeople who have been sentenced or are in prison under Criminal Code articles on economic crimes sounds utopian in today’s Russia. It was proposed by business ombudsman Boris Titov – but Vladimir Putin, as well as the majority of Russians – have rejected it outright.
