For too many people, war is not something they read about in newspapers. It is an act of direct, personal violence against themselves, their families, and their cultures. Our sincerest thanks go to Denys Myrgorodskyi, Managing Partner of Dynasty Law & Investment Firm in the Ukraine, for sharing his experiences operating his firm during the ongoing conflict. Denys identified some of his and his firm’s top priorities:
- Caring for their people's basic needs. The firm collected and distributed water, food, medical kits, and other supplies to help the firm’s lawyers, staff and their families with fundamental requirements.
- Clear, timely communications. With facts on the ground changing constantly, the firm established processes for keeping lawyers and clients informed.
- Maintaining a sense of purpose. When uncertainty reigns, it is important to establish shared goals.
- Financial planning. In response to previous, regional economic challenges, the firm had set aside funds to help weather the storm. These funds could be repurposed to help the firm maintain operations and provide financial relief for staff in need.
At the end of his moving presentation, Denys got even more personal. One of Ally Law’s fundamental values is the power of human connection. Denys thanked delegates Maximilian Zirm and Erich Gibel for helping his family relocate to Vienna for their safety. A few months ago, Denys was able to rejoin his family in Vienna, where he continues to work on behalf of his family and clients, and to support his country as they pursue an end to the war.
