"'[W]e remain committed to stand with the people of Ukraine and support them, and our people. One way we can do this is to take a position on which entities we are no longer prepared to represent given their connection with the Russian state. We wish to make it clear that we will not act for the Russian government, individuals connected to the state, state-owned enterprises or other prohibited parties from any of our offices globally. We are actively winding down any existing work in accordance with our legal and professional obligations and are refusing new instructions when approached.' The firm’s statement went on to say that DLA Piper attorneys would 'continue to act for our international clients with regard to managing their own responses to the conflict.'”

"We are winding down our operations in Russia and will be closing our Moscow office as quickly as we can, in compliance with our professional obligations. The well being 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. 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. "
