Closure of the Hogan Lovells Moscow office

A new independent firm headquartered in Moscow, called “LEVEL Legal Services” has been created under the leadership of Alexei Dudko, Leonid Ervits and Denis Almakaev. We are reaching out to relevant clients of the Moscow office to confirm whether they would like to transition some of their current work to the new firm, in line with our legal, regulatory and professional obligations. 

Partner Natalia Gulyaeva will move from Moscow to Düsseldorf with a small team where she will continue advising clients on IPMT matters. Additionally, several Moscow colleagues will relocate to other Hogan Lovells offices over the coming weeks.  

Some of our colleagues will not be relocating or joining the new firm so we also anticipate some redundancies as a result of the changes. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Moscow for all their work for the firm. Supporting their safety and wellbeing continues to be a top priority for us.
