Next UBA:
More than 70 leading law firms united and expressed their position on the termination of the provision of legal services to international companies that are still conducting their business and staying in Russian Federation. At the same time, we welcome all attempts by the Ukrainian management of foreign companies to announce the necessity for the aggressor country to exit the market as well as the desire to support Ukraine with significant financial, military and humanitarian assistance.
