FAIRSQUARE opens its office in KYIV

The law firm FAIRSQUARE is expanding. Since August, it has been offering its services in Ukraine, providing advice and assistance to clients regarding their expansion into the Ukrainian market. With a strong emphasis on a highly individualized approach, FAIRSQUARE aims to professionally and effectively help clients expand their business activities in Ukraine.

Kyiv has become the fifth regional law office of the FAIRSQUARE group. In addition to Bratislava, the firm also has a presence in Vienna, Prague, and Olomouc.

"The goal of opening a representation in Kyiv is to extend the provision of our legal services and support the expected gradual expansion of clients into the Ukrainian market," says Erik Schwarcz, founder and one of the partners of the firm. "Ukraine will sooner or later undergo massive reconstruction and gradual recovery. This fact will certainly stimulate the interest of Central European companies in this market and their participation in it. We want to be prepared for this in the interest of our clients, and we are already registering a number of inquiries and questions from our clients in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Austria regarding the Ukrainian market," he adds.

The Kyiv office will be overseen by experienced lawyer - Ihor Mazurenko. His expertise primarily lies in litigation in the areas of civil, commercial, and criminal law, including experience in commercial law and comprehensive company formation and ownership structures; the firm also provides services in the areas of commercial, civil, administrative, labor and family law, as well as debt collection and protection of intellectual property rights.

"After the outbreak of the invasion, many companies in Ukraine suspended their procedural activities," explains Ihor Mazurenko, but he adds, "however now, several international corporations are resuming their activities. For example, McDonald's, H&M, Jysk, LPP, and Samsung have already done so." Now that Ukraine has become a candidate for EU membership, according to him, it is necessary to develop relationships not only between governments but also at the entrepreneurial level. "Our cooperation can be a small brick in laying the foundations for building Ukraine as part of the European family," suggests the lawyer.
