The Legal Sub-Council of China General Chamber of Commerce in Russia Hired Professor Nelli to Take over as Secretary General
On the afternoon of May 28th, the Legal Sub-Council of China General Chamber of Commerce in Russia held the Working Conference & Art Appreciation Dinner at the DHH Legal Center Office, No. 1 Salt Street, Chinatown, Moscow. The Conference was hosted by Mr. Shaohu Luan, who is Vice-president of China General Chamber of Commerce in Russia and Chairman of the Board of Partners of DHH. Mr. Vitaly Mankovich (Chairman of the Asian-Russian Federation of Industrial Entrepreneurs), Mr. Sergei Shalonov (Deputy General-Manager of Russian Unity Bank in Chinese Business Area) and more than 300 lawyers led by partners and directors of 8 law firm members of the Chamber attended the Event.
On the Conference, it was announced that Ms. Bevelikova Nelli Mikhailovna (Professor of the government-affiliated Institute of Legislative and Comparative Law) succeeded Mr. Yuan Yao (Senior Partner of Beijing DHH Law Firm) as Secretary-General of the Legal Sub-Council. Serving as Director of the Institute of Legislative and Comparative Law, Prof. Nelli has made great achievements in the legal research of international cooperation on the Belt & Road Initiative and "Eurasian Union" between China and Russia. Since the establishment of Beijing DHH Law Firm Moscow Office, Prof. Nelli has been duly employed as a part-time Russian Legal Counsel and has been in active participation in a number of Sino-Russian friendly exchange activities. Last month, she just retired from the Research Institute and devoted herself to her new mission. It is believed that under her full-time leadership, the Legal Sub-Council of China General Chamber of Commerce in Russia will provide more professional legal services for Chinese enterprises in Russia as well as for Russian enterprises investing in China. At the Conference, Andrew Gallegher from the Russian Modern Court of Arbitration was invited to introduce the framework of its internationalization, especially for Chinese enterprises investing in Russia, which attracted the attention of dozens of Chinese lawyers. Lawyers of CMS Law Firm and other 7 Russian law firms successively delivered reports on their recent services to Chinese enterprises in Russia. Finally, Chairman Shaohu Luan suggested in his concluding speech that Russian Law Firms should “do not think any vice trivial, and so practice it”, and expressed that DHH would continue to serve as a bridge for win-win legal cooperation between Chinese and Russian lawyers.
After the Conference, members of Legal Sub-Council and participant guests enjoyed the exhibition of “Flowers by Mr. Kui Hua--China World Flower” & “Porcelain Plate Image by Mr. Yuanxing Yang”. After listening to the introduction delivered by Mr. Kui Hua, a famous Chinese artist, the viewers had a further understanding of Chinese painting and calligraphy. In the evening, Beijing DHH Law Firm Moscow Office entertained the participant guests and partner lawyers in Chinatown Sichuan Restaurant.
