Russian Company and Commercial Legislation

This volume focuses on the most essential foundation laws for the foreign investor and student of foreign economic relations. Translated from the Russian by Professor Butler, it covers legislation relating to insurance, insolvency, companies and partnerships, state and municipal enterprises, noncommercial organizations, civil rights, and foreign investment. Each law is prefaced by a detailed table of contents, and all translations are made from the official Russian texts, incorporating all amendments, changes, and additions, and including, where applicable, relevant decrees of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Russian Company and Commercial Legislation will be published alongside Civil Code of the Russian Federation (0199261539) and the second edition of Professor Butler's acclaimed text on Russian Law (0199254001).
