Dewey & LeBoeuf’s 13-lawyer Kazakhstan office is set to follow the firm’s Moscow base to Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, Legal affiliate The Am Law Daily reported last week.
Although neither group has formally resigned from the embattled U.S. firm, the seven equity partners Oleg Berger, Carter Brod, Jonathan Hines, Vasilisa Strizh, Brian Zimbler and Roman Dashko in Moscow, and Almaty managing partner Aset Shyngyssov have all agreed to join Morgan Lewis in principle.
