About
Provided by Dentons
Dentons’ long-term commitment to Ukraine means we are uniquely placed among international law firms in the region. We have been active in Ukraine since 1988 and officially opened our Kyiv office in 1992. Since then we have expanded, adding Western-trained Ukrainian lawyers, partners and staff, from our London, Frankfurt, New York and Paris offices. Many of our lawyers divide their time between our Kyiv office and major international financial centers, providing them with an ability to combine in-depth local knowledge with a global perspective. Today our Kyiv office employs 27 lawyers, including seven partners, dedicated full-time to our Ukrainian practice.
Our clients include the whole spectrum of leading international and local financial institutions ranging from top ten Ukrainian banks to major European and American commercial and investment banks, leasing companies, insurance companies, asset management companies, professional securities traders and other financial institutions.
Our banking and finance team regularly advises clients on the Ukrainian regulatory framework and on negotiations with the National Bank of Ukraine, the State Commission for Securities and the Stock Market, and other state bodies on a range of regulatory matters. We handle the registration of loan facilities, approvals of senior managers and changes to charters, and the acquisition, registration, and establishment of Ukrainian banks and other financial institutions.
