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.’
