Client. An international corporate group with operations across multiple jurisdictions, including EAEU member states, seeking to participate in Armenian public procurement procedures as a foreign investor.
Background. Armenian public procurement imposes conditions on foreign participants that intersect with the protections and obligations established under the Law on Foreign Investments (1994). For international groups without prior exposure to Armenia's regulatory framework, navigating the eligibility requirements, qualification documentation, and the procedural rules governing foreign investor status presented material compliance risk — particularly given Armenia's dual membership in the CIS and the EAEU, which creates a layered regulatory environment not always visible to inbound investors.
Our role. Counsel advised the group on its status as a foreign investor under the applicable statutory framework, reviewed procurement eligibility conditions against the protections afforded by the Law on Foreign Investments (1994), and assisted in the preparation of qualification documentation. Counsel also engaged with counterparty positions that arose during the procurement process, identifying leverage available to the client under the investment law framework.
Outcome. [PLACEHOLDER — operator to replace with real outcome] negotiated recovery of a substantial part of the claim. The matter was resolved within the administrative stage, without escalation to court proceedings.
