Firm brings Russian expert on board
London firm Fletcher Day has made a significant move towards bolstering its offering for Russian clients with the hiring of Julia Purcell as consultant solicitor.
Julia was born in Moscow and studied law at Cambridge, going on to specialise in commercial litigation and arbitration. She holds dual nationality of Russia and the UK, and is fluent in English and Russian.
Julia said: ‘England remains the jurisdiction of choice for international dispute resolution and cultural insight is invaluable for dealing effectively with clients from other jurisdictions. I am very excited about working with my new colleagues at Fletcher Day from our headquarters in Mayfair as we continue to develop our dispute resolution offering.’
The firm’s managing partner and founder Jude Fletcher added: ‘We are delighted to welcome Julia to our team and her experience is valuable in our work relating to Russian, Ukrainian and other CIS nationals. I predict further growth in demand for this specialist department in our firm during 2018.’
