MOSCOW, May 2, 2016: Morgan Lewis has been recognized by Chambers & Partners’ 2016 Chambers Europe guide as Russia Law Firm of the Year. The prestigious honor was announced at the publication’s recent annual awards dinner in London, where firms from 24 countries were recognized.

The Chambers Europe awards honor the work of law firms across Europe based on research—including substantial feedback from clients—conducted by the directory for its upcoming edition. Criteria include excellence in client service, preeminence in the relevant market, notable achievements over the past 12 months, outstanding work, and impressive strategic growth.

This is the latest honor for the high-profile work performed by the lawyers in Morgan Lewis’s Moscow office, which is ranked in Tier 1 by The Legal 500 EMEA for Corporate/M&A Law Firm, Russia and has a Band 1 ranking from Chambers Global for Energy & Natural Resources Law Firm, Russia.

"Morris Lewis & Bockius LLP Just earned Russian lawyers of the year award." Well more links to investigate. It said they were the law firm that read their drivel at his press conference about his business interests.

"Chambers and Partners described the US law firm as having an “active Moscow office” that offers “top-level advice” to the energy and banking sectors.

Fuck me. The Russian links NEVER EVER EVER END.
