Olena Perepelynska became the first lawyer in the CEE and FSU regions to have received recognition of that kind. Previously, GAR 45 under 45 was published twice – in 2006 and 2011. In 2023, 45 winners were selected by the dedicated jury out of almost 600 nominees. "My case sends an important signal to young arbitration lawyers in Ukraine and the region as a whole: if you practice international arbitration in your home jurisdiction, you can still compete successfully on a global level. For me, this is an extremely special and valuable accolade, I’m deeply moved and honoured to represent Ukraine in GAR 45 under 45 and among global peer community", Olena Perepelynska comments.
