How do we help companies enter the Ukrainian Market?

Entering the Ukrainian market can be both a challenging and rewarding endeavor. At GSW, we understand the complexities involved in navigating Ukraine’s legal, tax, and business landscapes. That’s why we established the Ukrainian Desk, a specialized team dedicated to helping businesses succeed in this dynamic market.

The Ukrainian Desk: Your Gateway to Business in Ukraine

Our Ukrainian Desk is a multidisciplinary team of experts specializing in international transactions, taxation, and commercial law, with a special focus on Ukraine. Led by seasoned professionals like Yevgen Motrych, a Ukrainian lawyer with deep expertise in contractual, commercial, and tax law, the desk provides unparalleled support to businesses entering or expanding in Ukraine.

Comprehensive Support for Investors

When investing in Ukraine, businesses often require more than just legal counsel. Our services are tailored to address a broad range of needs, including:

  • Legal Expertise: Drafting and reviewing contracts, ensuring compliance with Ukrainian regulations, and offering strategic legal advice.
  • Taxation Guidance: Helping clients navigate tax structures, customs duties, and financial planning to ensure profitability.
  • Operational Support: Through our network of trusted partners in Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, and other key cities, we connect clients with accountants, bookkeepers, auditors, and other professionals essential for smooth operations.

Preventing and Resolving Disputes

One of the most effective ways to support our clients is through dispute prevention. By carefully drafting contracts and including arbitration clauses, we minimize the likelihood of conflicts. However, if disputes arise, we offer:

  • Negotiation Support: Assisting clients in reaching amicable solutions.
  • Arbitration and Enforcement: Helping clients resolve disputes through arbitration or European courts and ensuring verdicts are enforceable in Ukraine.

Taxation: A Crucial Factor in Investment Success

Taxation is often a key concern for businesses entering Ukraine. With its complex tax laws and customs duties, expert guidance is essential to avoid unnecessary risks and maximize profitability. Our team specializes in helping clients develop tax-efficient strategies tailored to their business goals.
