Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘In our opinion, the uniqueness of this practice lies in the approach to solve the most complicated issues. The advice prepared by the practice team is not only legal advice, but also contains a business component, which allows for a smooth and painless implementation in the company's daily operations.'
'The vast majority of consultants we have dealt with approach the issue as a legal problem, not a business one - this practice successfully combines these two aspects. The practice is made up of lawyers who have been in-house counsel in the past, which gives them the ability to provide advice in the style described above.’
‘This team has valuable in-house experience. One of the people we would like to highlight is Denis Dutchak. Denis is able to find a solution that will satisfy all parties, such solutions usually not only solve the problem today, but also construct a future without such problems.'
'We would like to single out Andrii Lozko, senior associate of the practice. Andrii is skilful at finding non-standard solutions and often successfully defends the company's position in front of parties who are negatively inclined in advance.’

- 'Our company has been satisfied with the results of cooperation for many years.’
