The publication covers taxation, artificial intelligence regulation, trade, customs, migration, the protection of property rights, and other issues.
The chapter entitled “Artificial Intelligence Regulation in Russia: Implications for European Companies” was authored by Irina Kosovskaya, Partner in EPAM Law’s Intellectual Property / TMT practice, and Kristina Timofeeva, Junior Associate.
