“As lawyers, our mission is to uphold the rule of law”

In light of the serious developments unfolding in Ukraine, Lex Mundi has mobilized to provide this resources center, drawing upon the expertise of our member firms globally to produce guidance on the rapidly developing situation.

The resources available here will include support for those most touched by the conflict, such as a guide to relocation, accommodation and work for Ukrainian refugees, produced with Wardynski & Partners. Lex Mundi will draw together similar resources from our member firms with the aim of providing a single source of information and guidance related to the current situation in Ukraine.

We hope for peace as soon as possible.
