Law Firms Respond to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: How the Legal Industry & the Public Can Help

On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered ground troops into the eastern Ukrainian provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk. Invading under the guise of establishing independence for the region on February 24, Russia started bombing key points of interest around the country, including the capital city of Kyiv. At the time of writing, the skirmishes remain ongoing, with Russia expanding its invasion force as the days go on.

The ramifications of Russia’s war are widespread. In Ukraine, infrastructural damage is considerable, an estimated 2 million civilians are evacuating or have been driven from their homes. The death toll remains uncertain at this time, but the Ukrainian health ministry estimates that hundreds of citizens have been killed as a result of the violence. Globally, financial markets are in a state of rapid flux, seeing huge rises in inflation, a strained supply chain and plummeting stock prices.

Law firms in the United States and abroad have responded to the conflict by offering pro bono services in anticipation of resultant legal complications and organized means by which money can be donated to Ukrainian humanitarian efforts.

How Have Law Firms Responded to Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine?

In some instances, firms have also closed offices in Ukraine to protect workers, and severed ties with Russian businesses. Law firms that have closed offices in Ukraine include Dentons, CMS and Baker McKenzie, which have closed offices in Kyiv.

“Dentons has established a taskforce to monitor and manage the crisis situation, with a primary focus on protecting our people,”  Tomasz Dąbrowski, CEO of Dentons Europe, told the National Law Review. “We are in regular contact with our team in Kyiv and are providing our colleagues and their families with any possible assistance, including transport, relocation and accommodation assistance in the neighboring countries. Furthermore, we have seen a wave of kindness and generosity from our people across Europe, who have volunteered to provide accommodation in their homes for Ukrainian colleagues.  Furthermore, in addition to the financial support our Firm is providing to our Ukrainian colleagues, we have also received financial donations from around the world to help them resettle.”

Many law firms have announced they are closing offices in Russia, including Squire Patton Boggs, Latham & Watkins Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Morgan Lewis & Bockius, among others. Norton Rose Fulbright announced March 7 that they are winding down their operations in Russia and will be closing their Moscow office as soon as they can, calling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine “increasingly brutal.”

“The wellbeing of our staff in the region is a priority. We thank our 50 colleagues in Moscow for their loyal service and will support them through this transition.”

Norton Rose Fulbright said they “stand unequivocally with the people of Ukraine,” and are taking steps to respond to the invasion.

“Some immediate actions are possible and we are taking them. We are not accepting any further instructions from businesses, entities or individuals connected with the current Russian regime, irrespective of whether they are sanctioned or not. In addition, we continue to review exiting from existing work for them where our professional obligations as lawyers allow. Where we cannot exit from current matters, we will donate the profits from that work to appropriate humanitarian and charitable causes,” the statement read. “We are working with our charitable partners in every region to raise funds to help the people of Ukraine, as well as providing pro bono support to those Ukrainians and others who are being forced to relocate.”

Law firms have also stepped forward to offer pro bono assistance to those affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Law Firms Offering Pro Bono Assistance to Ukraine

Akin Gump Partner and Pro Bono Practice leader Steven Schulman explained how the legal industry is collaborating and working to provide assistance:

“So what we often do in these crises, we will self organize, [and] say who’s a point person who knows what’s going on, and then we will share information so that again, we’re lightening the load on the legal aid organizations.”

Another law firm offering assistance to Ukraine is  Covington & Burling, which the country hired to help pursue its claim against  Russia at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Specifically, Ukraine asked the court to order Russia to halt its invasion. Covington filed a claim on behalf of Ukraine to the ICJ.

Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are providing emergency aid in Ukraine, as well as in neighboring countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania to help people displaced by the war as they come across the border, Mr.Dąbrowski said. These organizations are providing food, water, hygiene supplies and other necessities, and urgent psychological counseling. Specific NGOs on the ground in Ukraine include Mercy Corps, Fight for Right, Project HOPE, Hungarian Helsinki Committee, and  Fundacja Ocalenie, among others.

However, NGOs need cash donations in order to keep providing aid. Mr.Dąbrowski detailed what pro bono work Dentons is doing, and how the firm is supporting NGOs:

“Our Positive Impact team is in touch with numerous NGOs and lawyers from our firm to identify opportunities for pro bono legal advice, mainly in the countries which share a border with Ukraine.  We are already working with NGOs in Poland and Hungary which are helping Ukrainian refugees displaced by the war. We are assisting with issues related to employment law, contracts, establishment of charitable foundations, etc… We are also in discussions with an international relief agency which is looking to set up operations within Ukraine.

While men between the ages of 18 and 60 are currently prohibited from leaving Ukraine, as of March 10, 2022, the conflict has created one of the largest refugee crises within the last few decades.

“We have activated our registered charitable foundation to collect donations from our people around the world to support Ukrainian families – and particularly children –  displaced by the war, including some of our own people from Kyiv.  So far, our colleagues from around the world have donated or pledged close to €300,000,” Mr.Dąbrowski said. “We have already distributed €60,000 of that to eight NGOs in Poland, Hungary and Romania, which are providing emergency aid, food and water, hygiene supplies, transportation, medical and psychological care, shelter and schooling to Ukrainian civilians fleeing from the war”

Concerns with immigration and refugee asylum is the next expected complication. In the short-term, the Department of Homeland Security is prioritizing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for those already in the U.S.

For the public, there are a number of actions to take to support Ukrainians. However, those wishing to help should make sure to do their research before making any donations in order to ensure the funds end up in the right hands.

How Can Members of the Public Help Ukraine?

Possible scam organizations and outreach programs are common during international crises, so it’s important to know the signs of fraudulent charities. Some best practices for providing support include:

  • Giving directly to an organization rather than through shared donation links on social media

  • Being wary of crowdfunding efforts

  • Doing a background check on an organization and its donation claims using Charity Watch, Give.org, and Charity Navigator.

Some examples of charitable organizations focused on Ukraine relief include:

Conclusion

Law firms and the public alike have stepped up to offer assistance and financial help to those most affected by the Russian invasion. Law firms cutting ties with Russian businesses and closing offices in Russia shows that the legal industry is standing behind Ukraine as the conflict continues to escalate.

In upcoming coverage, the National Law Review will be writing about how law firms are helping clients handle Russian sanctions, as well as the immigration implications of refugees displaced by the war in Ukraine.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day from the National Law Review team. Please read on for new legal industry hires, promotions and awards.

Firm Recognition & Awards

Much is included on the 2022 Top Workplaces USA list, which recognizes organizations with a people-centered culture.

“At Much, our culture centers on people: our employees, our clients, and our community partners,” said Managing Partner Mitchell Roth. “We work each day to support a collaborative, kind, and service-oriented environment, so to be recognized for our culture on a national level is a tremendous honor.”

The rankings are based on employee feedback from a survey administered by Energage, an employee engagement technology partner. The survey gauged various aspects of workplace culture, including  alignment, execution, connection, and more.

Womble Bond Dickinson is one of the Best Places to Work for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) workplace equality, earning a perfect score of 100 percent on the 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI).

The survey is administered by the Human Rights Campaign, and acts as a benchmarking tool to track how businesses are adopting equitable workplace policies, practices and benefits for LGBTQ+ employees. Womble Bond Dickinson earned perfect scores every year since 2015.

“We are honored to be named one of the HRC’s Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Employees once again,” said Betty Temple, Chair & CEO of Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP. “We at Womble Bond Dickinson have worked hard to promote diversity and inclusion. These efforts include earning Mansfield Rule 4.0 Certification. The goal of the Mansfield Rule is to boost the representation of historically underrepresented lawyers—including LGBTQ+ attorneys—in law firm leadership, partner promotions and lateral hires by broadening the pool of candidates considered for these opportunities. We have much more work to do, but we are proud to be recognized for the progress we have made.”

Lawdragon recognized Foley & Lardner partners Daniel Kaplan, John (Jack) Lord, Jr., and Rachel Powitzky Steely on its 2022 edition of 500 Leading U.S. Corporate Employment Lawyers, an annual recognition of the nation’s top advisors on workforce issues. Lawdragon selected the honorees based on submissions, editorial vetting and journalistic research.

Lawdragon said that this year’s honorees “specialize in defending corporations in everything from wage and overtime claims to trade secret disputes, while helping companies maintain global workforces throughout a pandemic.”

The Bad Old Days: Why Nostalgia for In-Office Work Is Misguided

Nearly seven months into the pandemic, with “regular life” a distant memory, it’s understandable that some law leaders are grasping for the Before Times, casting familiar habits and routines in sepia and longing for the time when we can get back to the “good old days.”

This nostalgia seems to be driving a recent flurry of articles by senior law partners about how the loss of in-office work will hobble the next generation of attorneys. Without face-to-face interactions, the argument goes, associates will miss out on vital mentoring from senior partners, as well as the camaraderie and casual elevator banter that builds bonds and a sense of shared mission.

While no one can quibble with the latter (working from home can be lonely and boring — nobody ever asks “so how was your weekend?” when you are standing at the coffee pot in your own kitchen), admitting defeat on mentoring should raise a big red flag for anyone following current challenges in retention and advancement at law firms.

If this framing — a white man who holds institutional power saying “I wish I could mentor, but…” — sounds familiar, that’s because we also heard it at the height of the #metoo scandal. As accusations of abuses of power were coming to light and the perpetrators were, in some cases, being held accountable, other male leaders expressed concern, privately or in public, about mentoring women lawyers. In such a “sensitive environment,” what if something they said or did was misconstrued, and their well-intentioned efforts backfired? Best not to risk it. Best to continue mentoring lawyers who remind them of themselves.

Or maybe you have heard it in the context of racial inclusion, when white male senior partners (we hate to pick on them again, but minority women make up only 3.2% of law firm partners, according to the Institute for Inclusion in the Legal Profession’s 2019-2020 review) profess a sincere desire to mentor lawyers of color, except no lawyer of color has ever asked them for their help.

Now we find ourselves in new circumstances, with physical proximity slotting in as the barrier to mentoring the next generation of attorneys. And while it might seem different on its face, claiming that you can’t mentor someone unless you can interact with them in person during business hours is no less problematic than blaming potential accidental sexual harassment or lack of initiative by lawyers of color. That’s because when offices do begin to re-open, the first associates and junior partners to return will be white men. (Surveys and statistics show that lawyers in other demographic groups will be contending with remote learning, lack of childcare and care for other family members for far longer.) And under a mentoring rubric that views traditional work schedules and practices as essential, white men will continue to reap the benefits of the access to power and client contacts and high-profile assignments that they have always enjoyed.

Wash, rinse; repeat.

This problem with equity in training and development is completely predictable. (We are predicting it right now, and so are lots of other people.) Law firms have proved themselves to be extremely adept at solving all kinds of complex predictable problems, so this one should be no different. Of course law leaders acting in good faith can create new systems to sustain mentoring in this extraordinary time, and ensure that mentoring includes all attorneys, regardless of gender and race. (Whether they actually want to is a different question, but also an irrelevant one, since unprecedented focus and pressure on firms to become more inclusive workplaces means it’s not up to them anymore.) Here are some first steps to making it happen:

Get over your nostalgia. We all miss social interaction with colleagues, and lawyers maybe most of all, given that their jobs play such a large role in their identities. But be careful not to conflate conventions with business imperatives. The legal industry has experienced many other big changes that at the time seemed to threaten core aspects of the work process. (“How will we function without fax machines?!”) But then attorneys who were flexible and creative adapted, and law firms survived and found new ways to thrive. When client service is your core value, you find all kinds of novel ways to accomplish it, including by ensuring the critical development of powerhouse diverse teams who can meet client needs.

Acknowledge that the old mentoring system was already broken. It worked for some lawyers, but not for everyone, and in 2020 it is unacceptable to pretend like that’s not true. Mentorship and, even more important, active sponsorship, doesn’t happen “naturally” — it results from systems designed to yield those outcomes. Brokering a client relationship with a junior partner on the golf course at your all-white country club is the result of a system too, even if it simply feels to the participants like the way things have “always worked.” What would a mentoring system that includes women and lawyers of color look like? How would it be built? How could it be conducted remotely, and does remote work actually present some opportunities for equity that are not present in person at the office? When we stop revering the old ways of doing things, we open up space to think big and create something new. That should feel exciting, not limiting.

Get worried about the right things. All snark aside, law leaders should be concerned about how the pandemic will impact the careers of the next generation of lawyers. It is definitely harder to mentor from a distance, but an insistence on in-person connections will only (and very predictably) lead to inequality. Without thoughtful interventions, lawyers who return to the office first will get first dibs on high-value work and have greater visibility with leadership, leading to more positive performance reviews, increased compensation and promotions. But you can intervene to create a different outcome. Leaders who care about equitable training and development need to call on the expertise of diversity and inclusion experts for support in designing an approach to remote mentoring. It is possible, and they know how to do it. One thing is for sure: you won’t get there by applying yesterday’s solutions to today’s problems.

No question, law leaders are facing some of the hardest challenges they’ve ever seen. Let’s not make matters even worse by clinging to outdated thinking that will hobble our progress on equity and inclusion.
