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.

    Head of the practice. Comprehensive support for defence technology manufacturers: corporate structure and protection of ownership, contracts with the Ministry of Defence and procurement agencies, approval for operational use and codification, export control, foreign companies and joint ventures, raising investment.

  • Working with key Clients

What Svitlana passes on to the team

  • First hear the Client out in full, and only then turn to the legislation.
  • Handle the Client’s case as you would handle your own.
  • Write so that the document is clear to the person who signs it.
