Edmans & Co are proud to have been given an opportunity to participate and speak at this year’s Russian Business Week conference held at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Russian Business Week conference is one of the most popular Russian events in London covering business, political and cultural relations between Russia and the rest of the world. The conference has an impressive line-up of speakers, which most notably included former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev and Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov.

This year’s conference theme was “Discover. Another. Russia.” One of our Russian-speaking lawyers, Emil Manasyan, was among the speakers and covered a very interesting subject of Business Immigration to the UK, which was very well received by the audience with a seemingly endless stream of follow-up questions.

Among the other speakers most notably were: Yevgenyy Chichvarkin (Founder of Yevroset and Hedonism Wines), Petr Aven (Head of Alfa-Bank Group), Demyan Kudryavtsev (Owner, Vedomosti), Mikhail Zelman (Founder, Burger & Lobster) & Celebrity Lawyer, Pavel Astakhov.
