Salans’ Moscow head says modernisation, WTO membership and growth will make Russia a key legal market

Russia has been working hard for the last few years to raise its profile in the international arena. With estimated annual growth of around 3%-4% in 2012, it is successfully expanding ahead of the economies in Western and Central Europe and has avoided the threat of a double-dip recession that has plagued so many others. Today, the country is experiencing dynamic growth across numerous sectors, in particular in energy, media, real estate, retail and life sciences, and it is an increasingly popular destination for international businesses.
