Baker McKenzie, Sidley Austin and Venable are parting ways with major Russian clients amid heightened sanctions and a growing call for the West to take action, as Ukraine continues to defend against the Russian invasion.
The firm “is reviewing and adjusting our Russia-related operations and client work to align with all applicable sanctions and comply with these fast-evolving laws”, and “this will mean in some cases exiting relationships completely,” Baker McKenzie said in a statement to Law.com International.
