Market Entry & Investment

Written By Stanislav Batryn

Legal Support for Market Entry and Investment in Ukraine

Entering the Ukrainian market requires more than registering a company. Foreign investors need to choose the right structure, understand local regulatory requirements, assess potential partners and assets, and consider tax, banking, foreign-exchange, sanctions and investment-protection issues before committing capital.

Lions Lawyers assists foreign companies, investors and entrepreneurs at every stage of entering and operating in Ukraine. We can coordinate the legal work through one point of contact, from the initial assessment and due diligence to establishment, investment and ongoing operations.

Current investment guidance particularly emphasises corporate structure, foreign-exchange restrictions, sanctions, competition clearance, banking compliance and sector-specific regulation as issues foreign investors should assess when entering Ukraine.

Our services include:

  • Establishing a business in Ukraine

  • Choosing the appropriate legal structure

  • Company and representative office registration

  • Investment structuring

  • Acquiring an existing Ukrainian business

  • Joint ventures and local partnerships

  • Due diligence on businesses and partners

  • Investment agreements

  • Regulatory approvals and permits

  • Ongoing legal support for Ukrainian operations

  • Foreign investment protection and legal safeguards

  • Employment and engagement of local personnel
