When one door closes, another opens.
In the light of recent sanctions against Russia, new opportunities for cooperation with Chinese partners have emerged. Raising financing with Chinese lenders has become an attractive option for the Russian financial sector and other businesses. To celebrate the recent combination between the international law firm Dentons and 大æˆ, the leading Chinese national law firm, we are happy to invite you to our event “Raising Financing from China". Representatives of major Russian banks, Russian businesses, and our guests from China will discuss the financing opportunities available for Russian companies and share their experience with you in this area.
