I am an associate in the the firm's CEE/CIS (Central and Eastern Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States) group. The group is made up of partners and associates from across our network of offices and practice groups who specialise in working in the 28 countries that make up the CEE/CIS region. Many of the group speak local languages and we have an excellent understanding of the local culture and any nuances that may affect doing business in particular countries. Over time we have built up and continue to develop strong relationships with leading local law firms, corporates and regulators which helps provide an excellent service to clients, no matter where in the world they are doing business.
