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. In the interview to RAPSI Mr. Solc spoke about the impending changes in the global legal market, as well as some uniquely Russian legal trends.

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. The initiative was announced at an Expert Council meeting held by Boris Titov, the Commissioner for Entrepreneurs’ Rights. The response of the experts at the meeting led Ivanov to conclude that an appropriate law should be drafted. 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.

13:17 10/06/2013 On May 22, the FBI Boston Division released a somewhat nebulous statement announcing that a “shooting incident involving an FBI special agent” had occurred early that same morning in Orlando. Without mentioning the names of any of those involved in the incident, the statement explained that during the course of an interview connected with the pending Boston Marathon bombing investigation, the interviewee had initiated a violent confrontation, adding that: “During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries.”

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.

As media reels from AP probe, Russian-US crime ring suspects urge hunt for leaks
