Two Big Law firms that had acted for Russian state-linked companies have announced they are withdrawing from those client relationships and reviewing their Russian presences, the latest in a line of firms responding to the invasion of Ukraine.
Making their announcements, DLA Piper and Debevoise & Plimpton become two of the last Big Law firms to take action on their Russia links. Other U.S.-headquartered firms Latham & Watkins and Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom have yet to set out their positions. Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, meanwhile, said on Tuesday that it was reviewing its ties.
