More about the practice
Ukrainian businesses and private clients are increasingly exploring opportunities to diversify risks and preserve assets by entering foreign markets. Entering the international market opens up significant opportunities for companies and their shareholders, but it also involves a number of complex legal issues:
- International business structuring
- Setting up companies and opening bank accounts
- Mortgage lending
- Support of real estate transactions
- Migration and residency matters
- Tax strategies and asset management
- Implementation of investment projects

Our clients include small and medium-sized companies, private clients and investors, financial institutions and insurance companies.
We advise on international contracts, financing, the acquisition and disposal of assets, mergers and acquisitions, project management, corporate restructuring and the optimisation of corporate structure, employment relations, and defence in court and against criminal prosecution. The firm works successfully across various sectors: banking and finance, alternative energy, retail and FMCG, pharmaceuticals, information technology, investment, agriculture, construction and real estate, industrial manufacturing and others.
