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.
