As we mark the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian lawyer Lana Sinichkina will speak to Club members by Zoom from her home in Kyiv, recounting her and her family’s experiences as the war began and what it is like to continue to practice commercial law and raise a family in the face of Russian missile attacks, power cuts, and the dislocation of colleagues, clients, family, and friends.
