Corporate/M&A

About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

We are the leading cross border law firm which offers local knowledge with international sophistication. We have the largest fully-fledged M&A team in Kyiv. The team is led by our renowned M&A and Private Equity Partner, Viacheslav Yakymchuk.

Prominent cross-border M&A capabilities of our team in Kyiv enable us to assist both global companies with their investments in Ukraine and well-established Ukrainian businesses with their increasing need for outbound investments.

What sets us aside from our competition is that we primarily take the role of transaction counsel (as compared to a purely local counsel role of our major competitors in Ukraine) on large cross-border transactions which we lead out of the Kyiv office. This permits us to consistently deliver maximum cost efficiency and added value to our clients through industry backed expertise, hands-on involvement and robust project management.

We have the leading reorganizations team, advising clients on complex cross-border corporate restructurings, advising large Ukrainian businesses on redomiciliation of their foreign holding companies, and complex cross-border restructuring projects including cross-border mergers. We guide our clients through the whole deal cycle, from deal shaping, negotiation to closing, including post-transaction reorganization and integration. We do a lot of work for private equity and venture capital firms and remain top choice for both local and international PE funds.
