To watch and hear about the war on Ukraine is terrible, to be living its daily reality must be orders of magnitude worse. We unequivocally condemn the aggression against Ukraine and also join the International Bar Association in condemning the violations of international law that are occurring, and which are affecting the lives of millions.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at Multilaw Ukrainian member firm Arzinger and are concerned for their safety and wellbeing. Multilaw firms from around the world have been offering support to Arzinger and making vital donations to charitable organisations providing humanitarian aid to those Ukrainian families most harshly impacted by events so far.

We realise this is just the beginning and stand ready to offer continued support to our Ukrainian colleagues in the weeks and months ahead.
