OREANDA-NEWS. Alexander Ermolenko, a FBK Legal partner, made an opening speech launching a series of workshops by leading Russian lawyers “Business in Russia: theoretical and practical considerations” hosted by the Kutafin Moscow State Law Academy.

Alexander dwelt on the role played by the lawyers in the context of an M&A deal, spoke about topical issues of modern corporate law and approaches to M&A deals.

“We are all well aware of the fact that practice is critical to a genuine expert more than theory. While at the higher school, undergraduates need to acquire clear understanding of law enforcement processes, get familiarised with best practices, develop professional skills. It is for this purpose that we encourage a number of educational initiatives at the leading higher schools of law,” said Alexander Ermolenko.

“Business in Russia: theoretical and practical considerations” is a series of workshops organised on the initiative of the Council of Young Scholars from the Kutafin Moscow State Law Academy, a Russian leading higher school of law.
