FBK Legal Participates in Legal Business Forum 2022

Elizaveta Kapustina, the Head of the Dispute Resolution Practice at FBK Legal, and Ksenia Chernoivanova, the BDO of the firm, participated in the Legal Business Forum 2022, which was held in Moscow on 30 August.

Elizaveta Kapustina spoke at a session titled “Legal Design — Effectiveness Driver in Court? Universal Rules for Consultants and In-house Lawyers”. She explained why clear and duly executed litigation documents can be a lawyer’s important asset during litigation.

“Legal design has been gaining in popularity in recent years. We have developed principles and approaches to be applied to prepare high-quality documents. I tried to make a brief overview of how we write claims and statements of defence. We analysed key challenges and errors that may be made when preparing litigation documents,” Elizaveta Kapustina says.

Ksenia Chernoivanova moderated sessions dedicated to legal design, and the modern role and evolution of marketing, BD and PR specialists at a law firm.

The Legal Business Forum focused on the development of legal consulting services in the era of turbulence. Attendees shared findings of various types of legal market research that demonstrates how businesses select consultants, which challenges are encountered by internal and external partnerships, and which obstacles are common for company management and personnel.

FBK Legal was actively involved in the Forum preparation. Ksenia Chernoivanova was one of its coordinators. FBK Legal’s interns and assistants helped to organise and hold the Forum as volunteers.
