Six areas people come to me with
A company without surprises: the right structure from day one and documents kept in order after that.
One task often leads to another: a company needs a trademark, a trademark needs contracts. That's why it helps to keep everything in one pair of hands.
Company law
A company without surprises: the right structure from day one and documents kept in order after that.
Trademarks
A name and logo that belong to you, not to whoever filed first.
IT law
Code, data and users protected by contracts, not by word of honour.
Contract law
Contracts you understand before you sign them.
Real estate
Buying a home without surprises: I check the developer, the land and the documents before you hand over the money.

Full glossary →Assignment of property rights
“The Contractor assigns, and the Customer acquires in full, the exclusive intellectual property rights to the Work Product from the moment of its delivery.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisEverything the developer created for you becomes yours: code, design, texts. Without this clause the author may remain the owner, even if you paid.
Joint and several liability
“The Guarantor and the Debtor are liable to the Creditor as joint and several debtors.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisThe creditor can demand the full amount from either of you, at its choice. Not half from each, but everything from one.
Penalty
“In the event of late payment, the Buyer shall pay a penalty equal to twice the NBU discount rate on the amount owed for each day of delay.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisPaid late? A fine accrues for every day. For cases like this the law caps it at twice the National Bank rate.
Force majeure
“The Parties are released from liability for a breach of obligations if it was caused by force majeure circumstances.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisSomething happened that nobody could prevent? There will be no fine. But the circumstance has to be confirmed by a document, such as a Chamber of Commerce certificate.
Authorised capital
“The authorised capital of the Company is UAH 1,000.00 and is formed by the Members' cash contributions.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisThe amount the founders “put into” the company at the start. There's no minimum for an LLC, so 1,000 hryvnias is perfectly normal.
Temporary residence permit
“A foreigner who is lawfully staying in Ukraine may obtain a temporary residence permit if there are grounds defined by law.”
yes, lawyers really write like thisA card that lets you live in Ukraine for a set period. It's issued on a specific ground: work, business, study, family.
This is a simplified explanation. The details in your contract may differ, so it's better to show it to me.

For over five years I've been turning ideas into legally clean companies. I work with entrepreneurs, IT companies and foreigners. I explain things so you understand what you're signing, and I give specific deadlines.
