Today’s first panel discussion of the CIS Local Counsel Forum featured a Who’s Who of the independent Russian legal market, which now includes 16,500 firms and more than 1,000 law schools. ALRUD senior partner Vassily Rudomino highlighted the progress of the local firms that, up until a decade ago, were little known in the international legal community. But he stressed that work still needed to be done.
“We need to increase our profile, be integrated with the international community, and develop overseas relationships either through a ‘best friends’ network or more formal associations,” Rudomino said.
