Protection of Transnational Economic Turnover: Legal Instruments

07 Jun , 10:30–11:30
The Transition to a Multipolar World Economy
pavilion H, conference hall H23 (2nd floor)

In the context of a dynamically changing geopolitical situation, it is crucial for businesses to respond flexibly to emerging market conditions and adapt, or sometimes fundamentally restructure, their cross-border economic activities.
Undoubtedly, the state should not remain indifferent to the changes occurring in the private law sector. The establishment of new trade relations, the implementation of investment projects, and the formation of large financial flows in promising regions of the world necessitate strengthened legal guarantees for economic operators and the provision of equal rights regardless of specific jurisdictional affiliation.
For the legal support of cross-border entrepreneurship, a special supranational legal toolkit is necessary. This encompasses a comprehensive set of international treaties and acts that regulate the exchange of official documents, dispute resolution, interaction between competent authorities, cross-border asset searches of debtors, and the enforcement of judicial decisions.
Considering the diverse spectrum of national legal systems, including those of the BRICS countries, it is essential to create an optimal model that ensures comprehensive legal protection for business activities. The best global practices for establishing a homogeneous legal framework, developed in international organizations, can be used to harmonize legal systems.
What legal challenges arise when implementing cross-border projects today, and how can they be overcome? In what formats and to what extent can the legal systems of BRICS countries be brought closer together to develop international trade? How can the efficiency of existing dispute resolution mechanisms and the enforcement of judicial decisions be improved in the new conditions? What tools can be used to ensure the ‘legal security’ of economic operators and reduce sanction risks?
