The Committee on Civil, Criminal, Arbitration and Procedural Legislation of the State Duma prepared the draft Federal Law on amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation for the second reading. The draft, as submitted by the Committee, contains the unmodified corporate agreement provisions, which had caused so much argument. A compromise has apparently been reached. But has it? And what will actually change in the Russian corporate practice, when the new CCRF provisions on corporate agreements are adopted? Will corporate agreements actually function or will they remain a more or less “advanced” fiction? Evgeny Zhilin Associated Partner of the Law Firm "YUST", gave RAPSI the answers to these and other questions.
