RUSSIA RELOCATIONS -  More international law firms are offering their displaced Russian and Ukrainian lawyers roles across their global offices, with London, Dubai and Hong Kong proving the most popular locations, Law.com International’s Hannah Walker reports. Herbert Smith Freehills is offering its Moscow-based people roles in London and Dubai, according to one London partner at the firm, who said the locations are suitable because of “similar life and working” practices, and because they are geographically accessible. Meanwhile, Dentons is relocating lawyers from its office in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv to Warsaw, Poland and other central eastern European countries, a spokesperson for the firm confirmed on Thursday. Linklaters is offering all of its Moscow-based people equivalent roles in its London, Dubai and Hong Kong bases. Anyone unwilling or unable to make the move will be handed a severance package of at least six months salary, with some senior people expected to receive upwards of double that amount, according to a person at the firm.
