Asters' lawyers featured among Ukraine's 2026 Rising Leaders and Junior Stars

Three Asters' lawyers have been recognised in Ukrainian Legal Weekly's rankings, which highlight young and talented lawyers in Ukraine:

Anastasia Panchak, Senior Associate in the Antitrust practice, was named one of 60 Rising Leaders. According to the ranking, all those listed ‘have strong cases, significant contributions to teamwork, growing roles and responsibilities in projects, as well as stable public and professional activity that influences the market agenda.’
Anastasiia Pozhar, Associate in the Antitrust practice, and Valeriia Yakimova, Associate in the International Arbitration and Cross-Border Litigation, were included in the Junior Stars ranking. They are among 45 lawyers under the age of 30 who demonstrate outstanding results in projects, a high level of commitment, responsibility and professional independence.

This year, Ukrainian Legal Weekly revised its research approach, dividing young lawyers into two separate categories to reflect their different stages of professional development and roles within teams.
