Among our established clients are both key issuers that supply most of the capital markets offerings out of Ukraine (such as the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, as well as many Ukrainian industrial blue chips), as well as newcomers seeking a reliable legal advice on how to do their market entries.

Combined with the efficiency, agility and strive for excellence that shape our approach among all our practices, this makes us the market leader and the go-to legal advisor for all matters capital markets out of Ukraine.
