Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

‘Client orientated team, flexible in execution of the tasks appointed.’
‘Michael Lukashenko is very client-orientated, professional and flexible.’
‘For us, as a client, it is always comfortable to cooperate with colleagues from the Aequo company, because the company always and on time fulfills its contractual obligations, even if they are preliminary, not yet reflected on paper, but only verbal agreements. Thus, when discussing any specific case directly with Aequo partners, such as, for example: Mykhailo Lukashenko, Serhii Denysenko, Denys Lysenko, partners are not limited solely to legal advice, but always put themselves in the place of the business itself, take into account its interests and provide practical advice considering existing realities at a certain point in time. This approach is very appropriate and important for any client of a legal company.’
‘Aequo team is able to control every little detail of the transaction and able to meet the toughest of deadlines. The team always propose practical solutions and gives us confidence that all risks will be handled and mitigated. ’
‘We primarily work with Anna Babych and Michael Lukashenko. They are very responsive and always aware of all aspects of the transaction. Having worked with Aequo on several transactions we are confident that their involvement will add value to our transaction. ’
‘Excellent Team. ’
‘I particularly worked with Michael Lukashenko, Anna Babych and Sergey Denisenko. Excellent professionals.’
‘Professionals in M&A and corporate practice. Very skilled negotiators. I can rely on the Aequo team even in the toughest negotiations with TOP US or EU legal teams working on the other side of the transaction. ’
