Agency, Representation, Delegation and Commission

Revised rules of Russian law on representation and agency aimed at modernizing the civil law regulation contain novelties, including irrevocable power of attorney, as well as changes to the provisions on authentication of power of attorney and delegation and termination of authorization and commercial and unauthorised representation. Furthermore, power of attorney may be issued for indefinite period of time in Russia. The revised rules of Russian law on representation and agency reflect modern regulation influenced by the convergence of the continental and the common law. At least, their content has become more comprehensive for common law lawyers.
