Statement Regarding Baker McKenzie's Former Russia Operation

Baker McKenzie's former Russia operations (Moscow and St Petersburg offices) have launched as independent law firm Melling, Voitishkin & Partners.

Comprising primarily of Baker McKenzie's former lawyers and business services staff in Russia, Melling, Voitishkin & Partners will be a premium provider of legal services and Baker McKenzie's preferred law firm in Russia.

As part of this change, Melling Voitishkin & Partners will cease to be a member firm of Baker McKenzie International (Swiss Verein).
