The annual survey “The Ukrainian Law Firms. A Handbook for Foreign Clients 2017”, recently released by Yuridicheskaya Pracktika publishing, recommends PwC Ukraine as a key service provider for tax and legal work, and recognizes the firm’s partners and practice leaders as notable practitioners in their fields.

The Attorney’s Association “PwC Legal” made it to the top five law firms practicing tax litigation in Ukraine for the third year in the row, while its Managing Partner Andrey Pronchenko comes recommended as one of the most experienced attorneys in this field.

According to reviews from clients (large multinational companies) as well as of those from market peers, Slava Vlasov, who leads PwC Ukraine’s Corporate Tax practice, is one of the most accomplished experts in the field. According to the survey, key market players recognized PwC Ukraine as a firm which ‘traditionally has a strong tax practice’.

Olga Trifonova, who serves as leader of the firm’s Transfer Pricing (TP) group, is identified as an ‘experienced professional in economic and functional analysis’ in the TP field. Since 2013, under Olga’s leadership, the firm successfully completed over 300 TP projects.

Zhanna Brazhnyk, an Attorney with PwC Legal Ukraine who led the firm’s overseeing of the project to increase the effectiveness of the state oversight of IP matters, is recognized among top legal professionals practicing IP law.

The overall feedback regarding the firm’s Corporate/M&A practice is also positive. The research shows that PwC Legal Ukraine ‘enjoys an impressive client base’ and ‘the firm is a point of choice for many international industry leaders with their business operations in Ukraine, for structuring investments and winding up, corporate governance, restructuring, and facilitating advice on acquisitions and joint ventures’.
