Investment & Legal

The Investment & Legal Committee is committed to improving the business and investment climate in Northwest Russia. This committee maintains strong lines of communication with local officials in order to be kept up to date on the very latest developments in local legislation and advance its members’ knowledge of the Russian Northwest. The committee maintains working relationship with legislature and judicial bodies to follow latest legislative developments and application practices. One of the committee's focuses has been on lowering bureaucratic burdens and administrative barriers in Northwest Russia. Based on a position paper with an overview of existing burdens compiled by the committee, late in 2007 St. Petersburg Government created a Council for Entrepreneurship Development chaired by Vice Governor M. Oseyevsky. AmCham was immediately invited to join and has been actively participating, helping regional authorities to identify and resolve issues of excessive administrative burdens.
