“In light of the ongoing crisis, we are suspending operations in Moscow pending further developments. We will do so in an orderly way, as the safety and well-being of our long-time colleagues and ethical obligations to clients in Moscow remain a high priority. We will continue our efforts to provide humanitarian aid and pro bono assistance to Ukrainian refugees and others in need,” the statement continued.
Squire Patton Boggs, whose employees include former Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, said in a statement Wednesday that “it has become clear that it is no longer tenable for us to continue our operations in Russia and we have therefore decided to wind down our Moscow office.”
“Our closure will effectively conclude our relationship with a number of clients in adherence with our professional obligations,” the statement added. “All other existing work or new matters we undertake on a global basis will continue to remain in full compliance with all applicable laws and sanctions that are in place. Since the beginning of this crisis, our foremost focus has been on the safety of our colleagues, particularly in Moscow.”
Squire Patton Boggs’ website listed 16 attorneys, including partners and associates, as part of its Moscow office. Some of the firm’s clients there have included the Russian online retailer Ozon plc, according to the website.
Hogan Lovells, another big legal and lobbying firm, said in a statement that it was “currently able to continue to operate our Moscow office. We’re in contact with our people there daily and offering them any support they need. As this is a fast-evolving situation we are closely monitoring any changes and reviewing our position as required.”
