Biglaw Offices in Russia and Ukraine Confront Reality of Wartime Law Practice
“As Russia invades Ukraine, Baker McKenzie and Dentons have closed up their Ukraine offices. No word on the DLA Piper presence, but it’s likely closed up as well. Dentons told Bloomberg Law that We are in regular contact with our team in Kyiv and are providing our 49 colleagues with any assistance they,” reports Joe Patrice in Above The Law.
“Which is to be expected. It’s impossible to imagine a global law firm operating in Ukraine over the last few years without formulating an emergency response. As soon as the former administration lifted sanctions on Russia and held up military aid to Ukraine, conflict may not have been guaranteed, but became increasingly likely.”
