Prudence and reasonableness in concluding a contract: how to verify the reliability of a company?

In starting cooperation with a new organization, the company is faced with the need to verify the potential of its counterparty. Verification is required for a decision to be made on the possible terms and conditions to be stipulated in future contracts, and in order to display the required due diligence. About where and what information on a company can be obtained, without having personal experience of cooperation with it, we tell you in this article.

Elusive preference

Russian manufacturers of drugs, involved in public tenders, have had a 15% preference when it comes to pricing for quite a long time already. However, in connection with the adoption of additional measures to stimulate the localization of production, the question of determining the country of origin of goods has become particularly relevant.

Legal regulation of electricity turnover

As a result of reforms in the electricity sphere, the structure of the market participants has become significantly complicated, as well as the obligatory chain of mutual relations between them. Both of these factors formed the background for a complex and simultaneous development of the regulatory framework in this sector. The growth in the number of sectoral regulatory legal acts has been amazing. Whereas before the reforms, the entire regulatory framework was based on the regulatory framework of the Civil Code and a series of departmental regulatory legal acts, now this base contains more than a hundred different legal acts.

Increased payment discipline: objectives and results

The National Collections Service in May 2015 stated that debts for utility services had exceeded 1 trillion roubles. These included consumer debts to resource supplying and management organizations and non-payments by municipal utilities to suppliers of energy resources. The problem of excessive loyalty to the defaulters, to the detriment of the financial stability of suppliers, required a resolution. It was necessary to increase the responsibility for the entire chain – from consumers to the power generation companies, so that they could not evade their obligations. The Law “On increasing payment discipline in the housing and communal services sphere” was adopted in late 2015.

Rights holders and public procurement

Today, for many private companies, participation in public procurement has become a commercially attractive direction of business development. It is not surprising then, that unscrupulous market participants, will seek to obtain public contracts by any means available, including at the cost of violating the rights of third parties. One problem in this regard, is the violation of the exclusive rights of copyright holders on the part of those entities participating in tenders, when the execution of the contract requires the supplier to have the respective rights. This issue is the most acute in the area of public procurement of medicines, where offenders win a tender for the supply of drugs protected by patents, and in the area of procurement of expensive equipment (including medical) – here the subject of violations are usually trademarks, while in the procurement of software, this involves primarily copyright objects.

The duration of the procedure of judicial recovery of debt from counterparty often leads to enforcement proceedings immediately after the court decision enters into legal force. This algorithm speeds up the actual receipt of the funds, but at the same time, carries a certain risk associated with the possibility of actually enforcing the court order.
