NO LAW,
JUST BUSINESS.
INSIGHTS THAT CAN BE DERIVED FROM THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE RUSSIAN LEGAL MARKET
Since 2022 Russian legal market has gone through an unprecedented transformation following massive sanctions and outflow of international business. Lawfirms had to adapt, tackle multiple challenges and ultimately develop new strategies allowing them to increase existing revenues and expand in a constantly changing environment. The time has come to share this experience and insights with our colleagues across Asia.

MZS and Brevia are happy to invite you to join us for a unique law firm partners only discussion where we intend to share our vision on what business lessons could be learned from the transformation of the Russian legal market and what commercial, HR and financial solutions could be implemented in case a similar storm happens in other jurisdictions.

The event is hosted by Kirill Udovichenko from MZS and Olga Tsvetkova from Brevia, the number of participants is limited, prior registration is required.
Agenda
A business-focused round table discussion will allow you to explore:
  • 1.
    What actually happened with the legal business in Russia?
  • 2.
    What new practices emerged and what happened with profitability of the existing departments?
  • 3.
    What happened to the offices of international law firms located in Russia and their clients?
  • 4.
    How to retain personnel and enhance marketing at the time of turbulence?
  • 5.
    What obstacles Russian firms encountered when dealing with foreign contractors?
  • 6.
    What mistakes lead to rapid decline of profitability?
