Overview of changes in Russian laws in the first half of 2025

Dear clients and partners,

You may remember the well-known quote from Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

The first half of 2025 clearly shows just how relevant it is for doing business in today’s Russia. Although we must admit that in recent years, the news has been pouring down on us as from a cornucopia.

Companies and entrepreneurs must pay constant attention to rapidly changing practices, new legislative initiatives, and court decisions, and respond promptly to them.

In this overview (Overview July 2025), we have included what we consider to be the most significant changes and events of the first half of 2025 and we also want to share some good news about the life of our law firm with you, because good news is important.

We hope you will enjoy this overview. We also wish you success in implementing your business projects!

Sincerely, Forte Tax & Law Team
