Hey,  im a student going through big law recruitment at the moment.

I just saw some stuff on social media saying that Norton Rose sent a memo to its lawyers saying not to comment on Russia-Ukraine war (even on private social media or in social situations).  TBH this really turns me off from them and would factor into my decision. (link to report: https://www.thelawyer.com/norton-rose-fulbright-issues-firmwide-ban-on-ukraine-commentary)

I would appreciate if any other firms you work for/have heard also released similar memos. Thanks.

NRF Canada has appeared to repudiate any guidance from this memo. Just one of the issues when dealing with a verein firm. I'm sure Dentons has similar issues.

Meanwhile Dentons has people in harm's way and is calling for "grace and understanding".

Lol all that's needed at this moment is a short public statement that clearly and unequivocally supports the Ukrainian people over Putin's senseless agression. 

I really just want to work somewhere that isn't afraid of losing money from Russian oligarchs smh...

I am just seeing this now, and boy oh boy, is that message pathetic. Did Dentons offer any subsequent announcements since? If not, I consider them a joke firm, regardless of their reputation.

Since PRC is their major base, taking a stand will put their Asia practice in big damage.
