In 2022, as the conflict in Ukraine escalated following Russia’s full-scale invasion, our law firm embarked on a mission of solidarity and opportunity. What began as a collaboration aimed at providing pro bono legal support to Ukrainian refugees quickly evolved into a robust initiative to assist both Ukrainian entrepreneurs and international companies looking to invest in Ukraine or Poland.
A Partnership Born of Crisis
The foundation of this initiative was our collaboration with Yevgen Motrych, a Ukrainian lawyer from Rivne who relocated to Poland. As a specialist in commercial and corporate law, as well as dispute resolution in Ukraine, Yevgen brought invaluable expertise to our firm. Initially, our joint efforts focused on providing free legal aid to Ukrainian refugees, helping them navigate Polish administrative systems and courts during their time of need.
From Humanitarian Mission to Business Solutions
As time passed, we noticed a growing interest from two distinct groups:
- Ukrainian Entrepreneurs: Many sought opportunities in Poland to establish new ventures or expand their existing businesses.
- Foreign Companies: Despite the ongoing war, international investors were exploring opportunities in Ukraine, recognizing the resilience and potential of its market.
This dual trend demonstrated that even during conflict, business opportunities persist, driven by demand for essential goods and services.
Key Services We Provide
Leveraging the expertise of Yevgen Motrych and our broader team, we offer comprehensive support to businesses entering the Ukrainian and Polish markets:

Our role is to help businesses navigate these complexities with informed decisions and strong legal backing.
