Andrey Kozlov, managing partner at "Gofstein & Partners", spoke about the relocation of business, shareholders and management in the sanctions situation. He noted that relocation should not be understood solely as an exit of a company or business from the country, it can also be considered as an opportunity to enter new markets. There is a new trend in the IT market: investing not in a company or a startup, but in the technology itself. This approach brings new interesting challenges for law firms working in this area.
In the first half of 2022 the RussianLegal law firm operated under the "Gofstein and Partners" brand, then the firm continued to operate under the original name.
