Legal support for the Bashmet Festival

Since 2006, the Bashmet Festival has become one of the most significant classical music events in Europe and the CIS, bringing together recognized performers and audiences from all over the world.

We acted as a key legal advisor on this project. We rendered legal support on all issues arising in connection with the festival: intellectual property, advertising, tax legislation, preparation of legal documents required for the participation and performance of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London and other foreign artists during the festival (e.g. related to the travel of musicians to and from Belarus, their stay in Minsk and transportation of musical instruments, etc.), participation in the relevant negotiations, drafting of foreign (gratuitous) sponsorship agreements with various sponsors, including some foreign embassies in the Republic of Belarus, drafting and negotiating an agreement with a leading European classical music channel to promote the festival.

The determining factor, when choosing Verkhovodko & Partners as Velcom's general legal counsel, was dedication of the highly qualified team not only to minimize the legal risks, but primarily to offer comprehensive business-solutions, in which all risks have already been analyzed and thoroughly thought of, and, as the result, being the most efficient solution to the problem in hand. The possibility to receive complete on-line legal advice and willingness to assist on short notice in difficult negotiations on disputable issues — is exactly the level of legal support/assistance, which Verkhovodko & Partners offers. Multijurisdictional experience in advising businesses and proficiency of the law firm's partners assures you that there is always a solution to any problem, and the one which will be the most appropriate and beneficial to your business. These are the core principles on which the cooperation between Velcom and Verkhovodko & Partners is based for many years.
