Law’s Cassandra Burke Robertson discussed law firms pulling out of Russia

Law firms are pulling out of Russia. Or are they?

Crain’s Chicago Business (subscription required): Cassandra Burke Robertson, the John Deaver Drinko-BakerHostetler Professor of Law and director of the Center for Professional Ethics, discussed the trend of law firms pulling out of Russia following the nation’s invasion of Ukraine. “Money can’t be transferred, the sanctions are having real impact, and I think, physically, it probably isn’t safe for a lot of Western firms to be operating in Russia right now,” she said.
