Conversation with Andrey Tsyganov (FAS)
The Russian Government’s Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has recently announced new regulations, just ahead of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic obviously changes the landscape in some significant ways.

This seminar will address the new FAS regulations as well as pandemic-related exceptions. Section One of the webinar will address implications for multinationals operating in Russia. Section Two will address implications for Russian companies, especially with respect to public procurement.
