Along with industry legislation, criminal law is rapidly changing. New rules and restrictions in familiar business areas, such as interactions with foreign counterparties, employee management, participation in tenders and procurement procedures, and the processing of personal data and any computer information, carry criminal risks. These risks are often hidden and non-obvious, yet significant and real.


Therefore, at the business breakfast, attorneys from BGP Litigation's Criminal Defense for Business practice will discuss the nature of these risks, outline the evolving positions of law enforcement agencies, trends in law enforcement practice, and propose specific measures for businesses to mitigate these risks.

Date: December 9, 2025

Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, registration starts at 9:30 AM

Venue: Hotel Lotte, hall "Charlotte", St. Petersburg, Antinenko lane, 2


!This event is free for members of the association. For non-members or potential members of the association, the cost of the event is 6,000 rubles!
