Rights and powers of foreign lawyers in the Russian Federation: problematic aspects

Ryabova Olga Alekseevna, Kuznetsova Natalia Vladimirovna

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the rights and powers of foreign lawyers in Russia. The authors point to legislative gaps in this issue. Most of the permits and prohibitions in this area are contained in the explanations of the FPA and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, which in turn cannot qualitatively build relations between the Russian legal system and representatives of foreign lawyers. The authors point to the imperfection of legislation in this area, which, in turn, leads to misunderstandings both at the level of foreign lawyers and at the level of Russian law enforcement officers. The paper suggests ways to solve this problem thanks to an integrated approach that contains the experience of foreign countries and competent legislative regulation.

Keywords:legal profession, foreign lawyer, rights and powers, protection of rights and interests.
