Current situation with low availability of external financing raises the need for complex alternative commercial and legal arrangements on real estate transactions.
We have seen in 2015 several complex floating fee deals as well as transactions providing for seller's and purchaser's extended post-closing cooperation in several development projects.
Equity financing now usually requires complex project implementation, management and return arrangements.
This is coupled with the ongoing reform of Russian contract and corporate law, which provides for more remedies and operational freedom; but, at the same, is becoming more complex and requiring greater attention to detail at all stages of transactions, starting from commencement of negotiations.
This may lead to increased legal risks.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
