Legal market overview
Within Legal market overview,
The Russian legal market is volatile, and lateral hires of both individuals and, in some cases, teams are part of the legal landscape. This year international firms such as Clifford Chance, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Gide Loyrette Nouel, White & Case LLC and Linklaters CIS were all subject to key partner moves. One firm’s loss is another’s gain, and, despite the difficult economic climate, many law firms, including those mentioned above are investing in growth. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP has for example welcomed the tax team from what was once Hogan & Hartson LLP. Of the Russian firms, Vegas Lex suffered a blow when a number of its partners left to form Korelskiy Ischuk Astafiev and Partners, Attorneys at Law.
