Integrites going West

Following its development strategy aimed to the West, Integrites International Law Firm announced the joining of three partners from Gide Loyrette Nouel. The three partners – Julian Ries PH.D., Oleksiy Feliv Ph.D., and Oleg Zagnitko Ph.D.– with a 13-strong team join Integrites in October 2015. The partners have more than 12 years of experience in international law firms Gide Loyrette Nouel and Beiten Burkhardt.

The merger will allow Integrites to consolidate best practices in banking and finance, real estate and construction, corporate law, M&A, and significantly expand the range of services offered, as well as to become a leading advisor on major projects in Europe and the CIS.

The new team will be the basis for Integrites European Desk, led by Oleksiy Feliv, and will focus on supporting clients from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy.

At the same time, Integrites opens an office in Munich, which will be headed by former co-head of the office of Gide Loyrette Nouel in Kiev – Julian Ries.

The expanded firm, with its staff increased to 210 employees, including 20 partners, will continue to provide legal services through its own offices in Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and representative offices in the UK, Germany, Netherlands and China.
