To support reconstruction of Ukraine – whose infrastructure and economy have suffered severe damage as a result of the war – Clarke Willmott has established a dedicated Ukraine Desk headed by Oksana Howard, an English-qualified solicitor of Ukrainian origin. The Desk assists UK companies seeking to invest in projects across key sectors identified in the UK-Ukraine “100 Year Partnership Agreement”, including infrastructure, energy and renewable energy, agriculture, technology and innovation, and healthcare, as well as other sectors where Ukraine requires foreign investment and support.
Our Ukraine Desk also advises Ukrainian businesses and individuals looking to operate in the UK, providing comprehensive legal assistance across a broad range of UK legal matters.
