EPAM has been highly commended at the Legal Business Awards 2012

At the awards ceremony that was held on February 9, 2012 in London EPAM, the largest law firm in the CIS, was recognised among the highly commended international law firms of the year.

The Legal Business Awards recognise the outstanding work from across the legal profession and acknowledge the accomplishments of the finest lawyers currently working in the UK and beyond.

Hosted by Legal Business magazine, the event is now into its 15th year and is consistently favoured by the industry’s leading lawyers as the most prestigious and highly respected awards on the legal calendar.

The Awards are divided into practice area, individual and firm-wide categories within the private practice sector and are open to all law firms and chambers.

This year, EPAM has been recognised in the category International Law Firm of the Year. This "key player in the Russian market merged with Ukraine-headquartered Magisters at the end of 2011 to create one of Europe’s largest independent legal players, and a dominant force in the CIS". It is also "a lead member of the 12-strong group of firms that are pushing for civil code reform in Russia".
