CMS, Russia employment, pensions and migration law practice

Foreign investors often wish – or need – to send employees to Russia. Before this happens, it is essential that they obtain the relevant legal advice on the laws pertaining to employment, right of residency and social welfare with regard to both their own country and Russia.

CMS’s employment practice covers all aspects of employment issues, including immigration, employment contracts, secondment issues, HR restructuring, employee benefits, health and safety issues, transfer of personnel, and employment disputes, and all aspects of pension schemes.

Our particular strength lies in our ability to provide full-scale legal support on all employment and pension issues combined with an industry-focused approach. Our clients include major international companies from various sectors, including the energy, TMT, Consumer goods, Retail and Financial services sectors, as well as professional consulting services.
