Only the content currently needed is taught, by project stage. The assessment stage focuses on access decisions and site selection; establishment on registration, accounts and staffing; construction on licences and acceptance; operations on filings, inspections and exit. Unrelated chapters take no class time.
Case studies are replaced with actual versions from your industry, transaction structure and dispute scenarios, with figures recalculated to the company's real scale; qualification and approval matters are checked item by item against existing materials.
Half-day, full-day or split online sessions; separate sessions for management, legal, finance and HR functions; taught in Chinese or Russian, with bilingual materials confirmed separately.
Format, duration, venue and language are subject to the arrangements confirmed by the client; courses can be combined or customised as in-house training.
