In sectors where business activities require a licence, mistakes can be particularly costly. Operating without a licence, choosing the wrong application procedure, submitting incomplete documents or failing to meet regulatory requirements may lead to refusal, delays, fines and other legal risks.
SABATRUST Law Firm provides comprehensive support for businesses obtaining licences, helping them navigate the process systematically, competently and in compliance with applicable legal requirements. We support projects from the initial assessment of eligibility through document preparation, dealings with public authorities, resolution of issues raised by regulators and legal assistance after a licence has been issued.
We assist with obtaining licences in areas including:
- activities involving the circulation of alcoholic products;
- the production and circulation of tobacco and nicotine-containing products;
- subsoil use;
- licences issued by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), including activities involving cryptographic information protection tools, work involving state secrets, and the development and maintenance of encryption tools;
- licences issued by Russia’s Federal Service for Technical and Export Control (FSTEC), including technical protection of confidential information and the development of information protection tools.
Depending on the project, our lawyers help you:
- determine whether a licence is required and which type of authorisation you need;
- assess your business’s readiness for licensing;
- prepare a complete set of documents;
- submit the application and communicate with the licensing authority;
- reduce the risk of refusal and resolve any issues identified;
- obtain legal support at every stage of the licensing process.
Whether you need to obtain a licence or assess the licensing prospects of your project, SABATRUST’s specialists can help identify the most suitable course of action, prepare the documents and support you throughout the process.
