Julia Borozdna chairs the Employment Law Subcommittee of the Association of European Businesses

Julia Borozdna, head of Pepeliaev Group’s employment and labour law practice, has been named Chairperson of the Employment Law Subcommittee of the Association of European Businesses (AEB). The results of nominations to committees were announced at the AEB’s annual meeting on 17 April. 

The AEB’s regulations preclude representatives of Russian companies from heading committees. However, in the case at hand the Association has departed from its own rules and appointed her to the post, in doing so taking account of Julia’s specialist experience over many years and her outstanding service in reforming national employment law. 

Over several years, Ms Borozdna has been an accredited member of the AEB and before being appointed to her new position she was deputy chair of the AEB’s Employment Law Subcommittee. 

“Five years of diligent work within the AEB have finally paid dividends,” commented Sergey Pepeliaev, managing partner of Pepeliaev Group, on Julia’s appointment, “and we have progressed to this high level. This is an excellent outcome and shows that we are regarded as respected experts in employment law.” 

Pepeliaev Group has one of Russia’s strongest employment and migration law practices, featuring prominently each year at the forefront of the key international ratings. The practice’s leading lawyers have vast practical experience in providing integrated support on major Russian and international projects, as well as being highly rated experts in matters that relate to improving employment legislation. 

The AEB’s Employment Law committee is a valuable forum for discussion, exchanging information, and promoting topical initiatives in the area of human resources. In the context of its activities, the Subcommittee organises open meetings and conferences, which feature discussions on topics of interest to those active on the HR market. 

PEPELIAEV GROUP is a leading Russian law firm offering the full range of legal services in all regions of Russia, CIS countries, and abroad. Over 160 lawyers in three offices (Moscow, St Petersburg, and Krasnoyarsk) provide legal support to more than 1,500 companies from various industries. 60% of our clients are international corporations, which are making long-term investments in the Russian economy. 

AEB is an organisation created in 1995 on the initiative of several European companies registered in the Russian Federation, Ambassadors of EU member states and the Head of the Delegation of the European Commission to the Russian Federation to promote the interests of European business in Russia. Currently, the Association’s membership numbers more than 450 European companies and banks.
