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 the 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. We are advising large Ukrainian businesses on redomiciliation of their foreign holding companies, and complex cross-border restructuring projects including cross-border mergers.

We do a lot of work for private equity and venture capital firms and remain top choice for both local and international PE funds. We also continue advising the portfolio companies of the PE firms in Ukraine on various strategic matters.
