You have a foreign arbitral award. ICC. LCIA. SCC. ICAC. A BelCCI award seated outside Belarus. The institution doesn’t matter for this — the award is final and ready to go. The Belarusian debtor has assets in Minsk: bank accounts, real estate, accounts receivable, equipment in a warehouse somewhere. You want to bring the award […]

A dispute with a Belarusian counterparty. Your contract gives you a clean route to arbitration — IAC at BelCCI, three to six months, full procedural rigour, court decision enforceable in over 170 countries under the New York Convention. Tempting. And sometimes the wrong move. Some commercial disputes settle better, faster, and cheaper at the mediation […]
Four containers under a multi-year supply contract with a buyer in Minsk. Three paid on time. The fourth landed two months ago and the €180,000 invoice is still sitting open. Replies from the buyer have slowed to weekly, then biweekly. The last call ended with vague references to “quality concerns” that nobody mentioned the day […]
Get corporate legal support in Belarus for companies and legal entities to protect and grow your business!
Most companies don’t think much about changing a director until they have to. Then they find out the hard way that getting it wrong — even slightly — can leave the business stuck in an awkward gap: the old director still legally in charge, the new one unable to sign anything or move money. We’ve […]
Payments have been late for three months, your counterparty’s manager isn’t picking up, and you receive a vague email about “temporary difficulties”. You run a check — and find out the LLC is already in a liquidation procedure. Or worse: in bankruptcy. The instinct is to call a lawyer in Belarus. The right instinct is […]
On 16 January 2026, the President of the Republic of Belarus signed Decree No. 19 “On Cryptobanks and Certain Matters of Control in the Field of Digital Tokens”. The document introduces a new type of financial organisation — the cryptobank — into Belarusian legislation and establishes the legal framework for its creation and operation. Belarus […]
Registering a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a vital step when starting a business. For many entrepreneurs, an LLC is the optimal organizational form: it combines limited liability for founders, a relatively simple management structure, and a wide range of potential activities. However, the path to obtaining a registration certificate is not always smooth. Entrepreneurs […]
Registering a limited liability company is an important step in starting a business, but in practice, it is only the beginning of the organizational journey. After receiving the registration documents, owners and the director face a whole range of mandatory and practical questions: what actions need to be taken first, which procedures are mandatory, and […]
Share capital (charter capital) is one of the key elements of the corporate structure of any commercial organization. It not only reflects the financial capacity of the company at the time of its establishment but also serves as a guarantee of the interests of creditors and counterparties. However, from the moment the business is registered, […]
Open a company in Belarus quickly and securely with full legal support at every stage!
You won the case. The court issued a judgment. A bailiff is nominally involved. And yet — months pass, sometimes years, and the debtor has paid little or nothing. This is a familiar situation for many creditors in Belarus, particularly foreign ones who assumed that a court order was the finish line rather than the […]
The judgment came through. German commercial court, English High Court, Lithuanian court — wherever the case was heard, your side won. The Belarusian debtor has money sitting in Belarus. The question now is whether that piece of paper does anything in Minsk. It can — but not by itself. A foreign court judgment carries no […]
The arbitration clause is the paragraph everyone skips at signing and everyone needs when something breaks. By the time you’re reading it carefully, the chance to fix it has passed. With a Belarusian counterparty, the dispute resolution clause shapes almost everything downstream: which forum has authority, what rules apply, where the seat sits, whose law […]
You won the arbitration. Months of hearings, written submissions, and legal costs — and the tribunal ruled your way. The award exists on paper. The Belarusian counterparty knows it. And nothing has moved. Getting paid is a different fight entirely. Belarus does recognise foreign arbitral awards — but turning that recognition into actual money involves […]
