ABOUT OUR TEAM

AVELLUM is a leading Ukrainian full service law firm with a key focus on Finance, Corporate, Dispute Resolution, Tax, Real Estate, and Antitrust.

If you have professional ambitions and aspire to work on truly outstanding projects, AVELLUM is the best place to start your career.

35% of legal staff joined AVELLUM with no professional experience or as students. We sincerely believe that every student who joins AVELLUM has the potential to become a partner. Therefore, the opportunities for growth and development at AVELLUM are unlimited.

Every year we have a Join AVELLUM internship program. 74% of interns receive job offers at the end of the internship.

At AVELLUM, we adopted a cross-practice approach. Rotation for junior lawyers in the first year is obligatory and very useful because the young specialist gets the opportunity to learn how each practice works. According to our observations, as a result of the rotation, 80% of lawyers change their decision about the practice in which they would like to work in the future.

You can grow fast at AVELLUM. On average, you can grow from a junior to senior associate in 4.5–5 years.

We have an interim performance check 4 times a year. A transparent system of criteria, clear requirements and feedback from colleagues will help you work more efficiently and grow faster.

From the first day, associates are working on top projects of the firm, so even an intern will not have to wait for an interesting job. Senior colleagues and mentors guide young specialists and are always ready to help.

If you want to feel that you are contributing to something truly significant, AVELLUM is one of the best places for that.
