We deeply regret to inform you of the passing of our friend and colleague, Leonid Kropotov. This sudden loss has come as a heavy blow to us all.
Leonid exemplified the ideals of the legal profession and our company’s values. He started out in DLA Piper’s St Petersburg office as a paralegal in 2006 and forged a dynamic career path, working on major projects and defending clients’ interests in key disputes. Leonid became a Denuo partner this year.
Leonid was an internationally recognised expert in corporate law and dispute resolution, a Juris Doctor, the author of numerous scholarly publications and an instructor at St Petersburg University.
For us, Leonid was, above all, a true friend whose loss is impossible to come to terms with.
The Denuo team expresses its heartfelt sympathy to Leonid’s family and friends.
