Russin & Vecchi in Washington, D.C. provides international and domestic
commercial and corporate legal services. Many of the firm's international
clients are U.S. companies with overseas operations. We also provide services
to foreign clients. Our domestic legal services relate to e-commerce and
cyberlaw matters, nonprofit organizations, and governmental matters unique
to the nation' s capital.</font></p>
<p ></p>
<p ><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Washington office
is part of the firm's <a href="moscow.html">Russian Practice Group</a>,
and also supports our offices in <a href="santo.html">Latin America</a>
and <a href="http://www.ilct.co.th/english/home/">Asia</a>. We work with our overseas offices
where clients of those offices need advice on U.S. law, or guidance with
issues involving the U.S. Government, or have projects or activities that
can be supported by one of the international financing agencies located
in Washington, D.C.</font></p>

<p ><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Our work extends
to issues common to many of these international matters. These include
minimizing U.S. and foreign taxes; ensuring compliance with the Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act while maximizing competitive advantages; avoiding
violations of Commerce Department antiboycott regulations; and analyzing
the extraterritorial effect of U.S. antitrust laws. <a href="wash4.html#intlcom">Click

<p ><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The rules of e-commerce
are being written by the parties in their commercial agreements, many
of which raise matters of first impression.Traditional legal principles
often do not apply, and there is a premium on creativity and the ability
to anticipate future problem areas. For over thirty years we have worked
in developing countries where it was necessary to navigate through undeveloped
legal systems. This is the legal environment in which e-commerce is now
becoming a global force, and the firm has been able to use its creative
skills to anticipate and solve problems. </font></p>

have assisted clients with problems in many emerging e-commerce and cyberlaw
areas. We also follow the development of new and proposed federal and
state laws and regulations, as well as recent judicial decisions, that
shape the future of e-commerce transactions. <a href="wash4.html#ecom">Click
