      Our corporate law and M&A practice is one of KPMG Law Ukraine’s largest practices, employing an array of lawyers with extensive experience in corporate law who can help advise clients on initiating and concluding mergers and acquisitions (M&A), entering into joint ventures, and the process of corporate restructuring both in Ukraine and abroad.

      We advise clients on all aspects of corporate governance and day-to-day matters concerning corporate law that may arise as part of the course of company operations, as well as providing comprehensive solutions in the areas of investment and restructuring.

      Our team provides support at every stage of an M&A transaction in order to help you make an informed decision on the structure of further financing, from drafting key transaction terms to conducting pre-investment legal due diligence. We also offer assistance in drafting transaction documents, participating in complex negotiations, advising on transaction closing, and coordinating relations between parties throughout the conclusion of corporate agreements.

      To ensure a comprehensive approach, KPMG Law Ukraine combines an in-depth knowledge of Ukrainian law with an understanding of the key concepts of English law, especially relevant when advising on international M&A transactions in a Ukrainian context. We can also engage colleagues from our international offices where necessary in order to handle complex transactions involving the application of foreign law.
