On October 2, 2026, the Official Gazette of Turkey (Resmî Gazete) published amendments by the Turkish Nuclear Regulatory Authority (Nükleer Düzenleme Kurumu, “NDK”) to the Regulation on Licensing Activities for Nuclear Facilities (“Licensing Regulation”) and the Regulation on the Management System for Nuclear Facilities, Radiation Facilities, and Radioactive Waste Management Facilities (“Management System Regulation”). Most of the amendments took effect on the date of publication. The new procedure for making changes at nuclear facilities (Article 41 of the Regulations on Licensing Activities) will take effect on January 2, 2027.

The amendments apply to organizations that carry out activities related to nuclear facilities based on NDK licensing documents (approvals, permits, and licenses). With regard to the Akkuyu NPP, the licensee is Akkuyu Nükleer A.Ş. Organizations within the Rosatom State Corporation that participate in the project as designers, equipment manufacturers, contractors, and service providers are indirectly affected by the amendments through the licensee’s processes and the terms of supply contracts.

On the threshold of its 20th anniversary, Lidings is implementing the next stage in the evolution of its management model.

Lidings takes high positions in the new rating of the leading legal advisors in Russia based on the analytical research held annually by the “Kommersant” newspaper. In 2026 the firm is ranked among the TOP leading legal advisors in Russia. 

A change of managing partner at a law firm is rarely just a personnel decision – more often, it is a test of the sustainability of the business model and the maturity of the partnership. Lidings partners Andrey Zelenin and his successor as managing partner, Boris Malakhov, argue that their transition was neither a crisis nor a reboot, but rather a confirmation of the viability of the chosen governance structure – one that maintains trust within the team and carefully adapts to a changing market.

On January 16, 2026, as part of the Lidings Global – Indian Desk project, the expert webinar "Opportunities for Indian Medical Device Manufacturers in the Russian Market" took place.

Lidings Managing Partner Andrey Zelenin will take part in the annual conference on law firm management: "The Future of the Legal Business in Russia. Strategy and Challenges of the Mid-2020s."

The event, supported by the Russian Arbitration Association (RAA), will unite the leadership of Russia's leading legal market players.
