Doing business in Ukraine under martial law: the legal snapshot

20 June 2022 - Events

While Ukraine fights for its sovereignty, any support to the Ukrainian economy is crucial: whether it is humanitarian aid, the resurrection of business, or investments into the economy. Ukraine is striving for any such support and, therefore, creates favorable conditions and opportunities both for new business and for the humanitarian aid flow: from tax and customs easements to moratorium for the tax and other inspections.

GOLAW Law Firm in partnership with The German Eastern Business Association (Ost-Ausschuss der Deutschen Wirtschaft) invites you to join the webinar devoted to the current situation in Ukraine and its general overview from the foreign investor’s perspective. We will discuss the business environment and trends, opportunities for foreign investors and aid donors, current restrictions, and easements – everything the foreign investor needs to know about doing business in Ukraine these days.
