Sergey Bakeshin has taken part in the Minsk Legal Forum

On 19 and 20 October in Minsk took place the annual Minsk Legal Forum at which representatives from the legal profession from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazahkstan, the Baltic states and western Europe gathered together.  The main topic of the forum was partner relationships in law firms.  Over the course of the forum, the guests discussed the law and paradoxes in the ‘family relationships’ between partners as well as alliances and misalliances in the legal sector.

Senior Associate and Head of the Dispute Resolution department at Maxima Legal, Sergey Bakeshin noted that the Minsk Legal Forum has become a popular space for meetings between lawyers and advocates from post-Soviet countries.  

The forum’s hosts succeeded in creating a warm, friendly and entertaining atmosphere where it was possible to not only discuss professional matters but pleasantly spend time with informal meetings with fellow lawyers.  “Long live Belarus!”, added Sergey.
