Question 1

Do I need an NDA for Russian freelancers and contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, NDAs are essential when working with contractors who will access your confidential information. Under Russian law, civil law contracts (grazhdansko-pravovoy dogovor) can include confidentiality provisions. Having a bilingual version ensures the contractor fully understands their obligations.

Question 2

How do IP rights work with Russian contractors?

Accepted Answer

Under Russian Civil Code Part IV, intellectual property created under a contract (service work or 'sluzhebnoe proizvedenie') generally belongs to the commissioning party if specified in the contract. Include explicit IP assignment clauses in both languages to ensure clarity.

Question 3

What is the Russian term for independent contractor?

Accepted Answer

In Russian, independent contractor is typically called 'Независимый подрядчик' or 'Исполнитель по договору подряда'. The contract type is usually 'Договор подряда' (work contract) or 'Договор оказания услуг' (services agreement) under Russian Civil Code.
