“As a major national law firm, we support the development of the Russian legal market’s infrastructure," comments Pepeliaev Group's managing partner Sergey Pepeliaev. "A national ranking is a part of that infrastructure. Russia is a large economy and we should expect that in time the national ranking will move across national borders, with a new international ranking growing from it. The routes are clear: first a Eurasian Economic Union ranking, then the CIS, and everywhere else afterwards”.
