On 11–12 September, Sochi hosted the anniversary 10th Congress of Medical Device Industry Participants, organized by the LUSOMI Association.

Lidings Counsel and Head of Regulatory Practice Julia Kuzmenko gave a presentation titled “How to Build an Effective Barrier Against the Illegal Circulation of Medicines, Medical Devices and Dietary Supplements.”

Lidings invites you to a seminar on the hottest and most striking amendments to labor legislation — as bright as autumn bonfires.

Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly looking toward the GCC and MENA regions. But "entering" and "establishing a foothold" are challenges of entirely different magnitudes.

The two key markets in the region — the UAE and Saudi Arabia — despite their undeniable appeal, require fundamentally different approaches.

Together with the Pharvestnik Magazine, Julia Kuzmenko, Counsel and Head of Regulatory Practice at Lidings, examined the nuances of the regulatory architecture in these two jurisdictions.

Lidings announces the launch of a new Regulatory Practice. The practice will be headed by the firm's Counsel Julia Kuzmenko.

The creation of the new practice continues the development of Lidings' industry expertise and responds to the growing demand from businesses for comprehensive support amid increasingly complex government regulation and new mandatory requirements.

We invite you to a webinar on antitrust risks for pharmaceutical companies when setting prices for medicinal products.

As part of the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry through 2030, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1495-r of 7 June 2023 (“Pharma Strategy 2030”), and discussions at the “Healthy Society” forum organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Ministry of Health (16–17 March 2026, Moscow) (“Forum”), key areas of state support for domestic drug developers and manufacturers were identified, including subsidies for clinical trials .

In addition to existing support programs, subsidies for clinical trials at all stages will help overcome the financing barrier for high-risk phases of medicines clinical trials and accelerate the market launch of medicines. The combination of current and planned measures will create the legal and economic foundation for strengthening the production and technological capacity of the domestic pharmaceutical industry and increasing its presence in international markets.

Below, we will examine planned initiatives and support measures for pharmaceutical manufacturers that have already been implemented.
