Investment Vehicles and their Administration

Firestone Duncan is a leader in the structuring and administration of Russian investment vehicles.

Whether the investment is short and simple or a complex transaction of long duration our firm can structure a practical, safe and efficient vehicle for its completion.

Our firm routinely constructs specialized structures which enable legal means for foreign ownership of assets which could not normally be foreign owned.  These assets include restricted securities (domestic Gazprom shares for example) and ownership of agricultural land.

In addition to structuring and implementing investment vehicles, Firestone Duncan offers turn-key legal, accounting, and tax filing compliance packages.  These packages are designed either for passive investors or for investors who would rather focus their energies on the day to day operations of their investment rather than legal and tax compliance.

Our administration services typically include keeping the investment vehicle in compliance with Russian law, keeping all accounting records, and filing all necessary tax returns.  If legislation changes the firm will advise client’s of the changes that effect them and how they are likely to be effected.

The firm provides legal, accounting and tax administration for private investors and for some of Russia’s largest equity funds.
