CMS ceases operations in Russia

14/03/2022

Berlin – Commercial law firm CMS Germany remains deeply concerned about the attacks on Ukraine. The thoughts of our entire team are with all Ukrainians who are suffering as a result of this war.

CMS, as a global organisation, has decided that it is no longer appropriate to have a CMS office in Russia. As such, we as CMS will be withdrawing from the Russian market. We will be making an orderly transition of the business to the current Moscow team. We believe that at this time this decision is in the best interests of our clients who will thus continue to receive local support and of our staff who are experiencing disruption to their lives.

CMS remains committed to its social responsibility in the face of this humanitarian crisis. In this context, CMS is working closely with its partner organisation Médecins Sans Frontières to support their vital work in Ukraine. Additional aid is currently being provided and coordinated by our dedicated colleagues at the individual CMS offices.
