BIRCH Announces Leadership Appointments to Drive Long-Term Growth

BIRCH is excited to share updates to its leadership structure – changes designed to strengthen our market position and keep us moving forward on our long-term strategy.

Evgeny Oreshin, Partner and recognized litigation expert, has been appointed Head of Dispute Resolution. Under his leadership, one of the firm's most active and fast-growing practices, will keep pushing forward – handling complex, multi-level disputes and bringing sharp, creative legal solutions to every client challenge.

Yury Pugach, who built and led the Dispute Resolution practice, moves into the role of Senior Partner. The transition gives Yuri the space to step back from day-to-day operations and focus on the firm's broader strategic direction.

Mikhail Timonov remains Managing Partner. For Mikhail, leadership has always been about the people – creating conditions where lawyers and partners do their best work, and making sure that a strong internal culture translates into real value for clients. He will also stay closely involved in major corporate matters, as he always has.

Mikhail Timonov, Managing Partner: "We've covered a lot of ground since we set our strategy back in 2022. Now we're stepping into the next phase – and I think this structure gives us the right foundation to go after our most ambitious goals and keep delivering for the businesses that trust us."
