He will be a great asset to the team and his breadth of experience strengthens our corporate and finance capabilities. We continue to see an increasing sophistication and complexity of deals in Russia, and are delighted to be adding a partner of Mikhail’s stature, knowledge and technical abilities to the practice,” said Chris Allen, Latham & Watkins’ Office Managing Partner in Moscow.
Joerg Kirchner, Vice Chair of Latham & Watkins’ Global Corporate Department, added: “Mikhail is a hard-working, energetic and hands-on lawyer whose client service skills and entrepreneurialism will help grow our practice in Russia and Europe.”
“Latham has a phenomenally strong track record in Russia. The firm has long been admired for building one of the leading transactional practices in the market, in particular its marquee capital markets and M&A capabilities. As deal flow starts to pick up, I look forward to contributing to the further growth of the practice,” said Turetsky.
