Svitlana was there at the origins of ArtCase. She assembled the core of the team we work with today and laid down the principles and rules by which that team lives.
More than one generation of lawyers has brought Svitlana their first documents and received them back with careful edits in the margins. This is how experience is passed on at our firm: through daily work side by side.
She has more than thirty years of practice behind her, ten years in audit and experience managing industrial enterprises. That is why Svitlana sees a Client’s task not only through the eyes of a lawyer, but also through those of a financier and a manager. Today she heads the defence technology practice and personally handles the firm’s key Clients.
