Federal Law No. 127-FZ was first presented in 2014 and experienced several changes before being enacted in 2015. The new Russian Bankruptcy Law provides for the following changes:

  • New proceedings for the opening of insolvency and bankruptcy procedures;
  • The opening of the process through which a company’s chief executive officer is required to notify the creditors about the business’ bankruptcy;
  • The opening of additional security measures for creditors;
  • New regulation through which Who may challenge an insolvent company’s transactions.

The new Bankruptcy Law allows workers to file a petition with the Commercial Court in Russia asking about the bankruptcy procedure. Our Russian attorneys can offer more information on filing such a petition with the court.

The bankruptcy legislation supplies for private and public companies and sole trading companies to first confirm they cannot pay their debts before beginning the insolvency proceedings, followed by the bankruptcy ones. Moreover, these parties may also undergo corporate restructuring and remain solvent. If these measures fail, there are two ways of starting bankruptcy procedures:

  • The voluntary ones;
  • The involuntary ones

Following any of the two approaches, the company will undergo liquidation.
