Last week, a two-day Russia – Africa summit was held to “strengthen comprehensive and equal cooperation” between Russia and African nations across all areas of society, including politics, security, economic relations, science and technology, as well as the cultural and humanitarian spheres.

Before the summit, Pavel Karpunin, Partner and Head of the PPP and Project Finance practice at Capital Legal Services, participated in a workshop on cooperation between authorities, businesses and other organizations of the Russian Federation and representatives of the authorities of the Republic of Zimbabwe. The participants discussed cooperation issues and assessed prospects of the Russian-African cooperation in various business sectors.

Our new legal partner in Zimbabwe praised the level of professionalism of Capital Legal Services in his presentation during the meeting. We are certain that our new partnership will allow CLS to expand its network of business contacts in Africa and provide even more effective legal support to Russian and foreign clients doing business both in Russia and abroad.
