Interim Management

Interim Management in Russia

Interim Management when one of our in-house lawyers/management companies temporarily takes over the day to day functions of the general manager, or representative office. During the foundation of your company/representative office, interim management can help you be able to begin your business from day one.

Our aim: We want your company in Russia to be capable of doing business immediately while you have complete control over your company at the same time. We can guarantee this by placing our lawyers as your interim managers.

Find the right managing director for your business in Russia

There are three options of how to choose a general director:

1st option: You employ a Russian citizen as your general director. The issue of a working permit can be avoided this way. On the other hand, trust can be a big issue. In practice, for foreign companies it is rather hard to find a Russian employee who they can trust, since the general director has almost complete control over the company, with all its assets and bank accounts.

2nd option: A trustworthy employee from the parent company gets employed as the general director of the new company. In most cases. this employee will not have Russian citizenship, therefore the employee needs a working permit to be able to take charge as the general director.

3rd option: One of our proficient lawyers will take over the functions of general manager in the role of an interim manager. The advantage for you: Your Russian subsidiary will be able to join in business from day one and at the same time you keep complete control.
