Our multidisciplinary expertise and extensive experience allows us to identify any legal issues and deal with them at an early stage. This will provide you with peace of mind and assurance that all reasonably expected risks are adequately addressed.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Our client relations are built upon the following four cornerstones:

Communication – the language of law is often unclear and complex. Therefore, we demystify the law in order to provide you with clear-cut solutions in easy to understand language.

Initiative – we don’t wait for someone else to act. We are always proactive in taking action and delivering the expected results to our clients.

Focus – our multidisciplinary expertise and experience allows us to see the “big picture” in order to promptly identify potential risks and to set clear priorities.

Efficiency – our goal is to develop a solution that will both meet our client’s objectives and address their cost-benefit concerns.

BACKGROUND

ArsLegem is an independent Ukrainian law firm providing litigation and counselling services in all major areas of business law. The firm was established in 2011 by Oleksandr Petrov (previously a partner in a prominent Ukrainian litigation and regulatory law boutique). It assumed its current structure in 2012 when Roman Kolos (a partner in a leading CEE law firm) joined the team. They have combined their skills and experience to establish a firm offering outstanding legal services to its clients while at the same time, responding to new market realities and challenges.
