Welcome to Asters' French Desk!

Our lawyers are here to guide your business in its establishment or operations in Ukraine. We offer you advice in French language, adapted to your business culture, and with an understanding of your home jurisdiction's legal system. Our role is to draw on the expertise of Asters' industry-leading attorneys across all our practices and tailor our legal services to your way of doing business.

The Ukrainian market has seen a marked influx of international trade and investment in recent years, particularly from Western Europe, and Asters has been at the forefront of accompanying these transitions in the Ukrainian economy. This is reflected in our predominantly international client portfolio, and we nurture an outward-looking firm culture, as truly international Ukrainian law firm, with offices in the EU, UK and US, and a good number of attorneys educated, trained, or qualified in western jurisdictions.

Most of all, we believe in the power of trust in business relations. In our client work and in the Ukrainian society around us, we stand for a modernized and uncorrupted economy based on the rule of law. And every day we will go the extra mile to ensure our clients' Ukrainian operations will feel seamlessly integrated, as we share not only a language, but also common values.

Asters is Ukraine's largest law firm with over 150 attorneys, is consistently recognized as market leader in all ranked practices in Chambers, Legal500 and national rankings, and has been awarded Law Firm of the Year in Ukraine for 10 of the last 12 years.
