“These were two days of endless networking at #KazanLegal. It was a second второе all-Russian legal event organized by EPAM that we may be proud of, the professional level raises no issues. Over 650 attendees, most of whom are professional lawyers, at least a head of legal, and leading officers at best Russian law firms. I’m lost in admiration.”
