On 12 December 2017, Olga Lukianova (Head of Legal Department & Compliance Officer at Henkel Ukraine) held the lecture on compliance at EBA-Asters Legal School, a unique free of charge platform for Ukrainian legal practitioners sharing experience and best practices to secure legal support and protection of business.
Representatives of the large number of leading companies operating in Ukraine attended Ms. Lukianova's lecture in which she shared her vast experience in implementation of corporate compliance programs and discussed specificities of employees' relevant education.
“The efficient compliance system can prevent reputational risks and minimize negative financial consequences for a company”, – comments Olga Lukianova. “It is my pleasure to lecture at the EBA-Asters Legal School for the third time now as this project is in high demand among Ukrainian lawyers and does contribute to bringing Ukrainian business standards closer to the world-renowned benchmarks.”
Asters' Senior Partner Armen Khachaturyan concurs: "Compliance principles are critical for the efficient corporate culture and eventual business success in the well-established market economies considered by Ukraine as its utmost goal. Therefore, all efforts should be made to expedite absorption of these principles and best practices by Ukrainian companies as significant part of Ukraine's legal and economic reforms. We view Olga's lecture in the EBA-Asters Legal School as our joint contribution to this noble cause."
The Legal School is an educational project launched by Asters in the partnership with the European Business Association, the premier organization for foreign business in Ukraine. The Legal School's program includes lectures on hot topics and is aimed at solving real challenges encountered by Ukrainian businesses in their daily work.
