The war in Ukraine has caused enormous damage to the country and huge disruption to international trade relations. The demand for foreign investment to rebuild is expected to increase dramatically after the war. Kennedys has established a dedicated Ukraine desk to support Ukrainian clients and foreign investors in matters relating to various sectors of the Ukrainian economy. Our Ukraine desk consists of qualified lawyers who speak Ukrainian and Russian. Members of the Ukraine desk handle client instructions directly themselves or, where appropriate, refer them to specialists in other teams. We have expertise in the following areas: commercial transactions, commercial dispute resolution and insurance and reinsurance.
Our commercial and corporate transactional work covers cross-border deals of all shapes and sizes. We can support clients at every stage of a project life cycle, from formation or acquisition of a business to strategic alliances such as joint ventures, and ultimately a sale or other exit event. We prepare and negotiate project documentation as well as undertake tasks in accordance with local law, such as company registration, legal support for corporate governance, regulatory issues such as obtaining licenses and permits, and employment law.
