Company registration in Russia: law 312-FZ makes changes to the main Russian laws.
Federal law # 312-FZ dated 30 December 2008
significantly changed the way limited liability companies are regulated in
Russia by introducing amendments to the main Russian laws - Russian Civil Code,
the Federal law "On Limited Liability Companies", the "Fundamental Principles of
Russian Legislation on Notaries" and the Federal law "On State Registration of
Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs".
The amendments will come into force on 1 July 2009. Prior to
this date, limited liability companies will be regulated by the current
legislation. From 1 July 2009 until 1 January 2010, all limited liability
companies in Russia
will be required to bring their constitutional documents into compliance with
the new regime.
Some main point of changes to the laws:
The sole constitutional document for Limited Liability
Company will be Charter. This does not remove the requirement for a limited
liability company with more than one participant to have a founders' agreement
but will remove the necessity to amend the founders' agreement thereafter during
the company's existence.
According to the new law registration process for LLC will be
similar as for Joint stock companies. According to the new law it will be
required to maintain a “Register of Participants” and not necessary to make
changes in the Charter every time when company has changes in structure of
participants. Under the current law all information about participants is
recorded in the Charter of LLC, that’s why in case of any changes it’s necessary
to make changes in Charter of the company.
Essential changes took place in the procedure of transfer of a participation
interest. Since the 1st of July most agreements for the transfer of
participation interest will be obligatory need to be notarized. Now it’s not
necessary to have notarized copy of such agreements.
The new law amends the Fundamental Principles of Russian Legislation on
Notaries. A notary will be fully liable in damages for losses caused by unlawful
notarization or a refusal to notarize. The minimum professional indemnity
insurance coverage for the city private practice notary is set at 1,500,000 RUR. |
