Aequo has been named Law Firm of the Year: Ukraine<\/strong> by The Lawyer European Awards for the second year in a row. This repeated recognition \u2014 a rare distinction in the history of the awards \u2014 reflects the firm\u2019s sustained effectiveness, deep expertise and strategic influence on key transformations within the Ukrainian market.<\/p>\n

In addition to the main award, Aequo received distinctions across four European categories.<\/p>\n

European Corporate Team of the Year (highly commended)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aequo advised NEQSOL Holding on the acquisition of UMCC-Titanium \u2013 one of the first large-scale privatisations completed during martial law. The project became an important example of attracting an international investor to the Ukrainian economy in this period.<\/p>\n

European Litigation Team of the Year (highly commended)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within the submission, we highlighted one of the most significant series of court cases in recent years, in which the Supreme Court for the first time provided a comprehensive interpretation of the concept of a \u201cbeneficial owner of income\u201d in the context of intra-group financing. The ruling established an important precedent for dozens of similar disputes and strengthened the predictability of tax practice and the level of legal certainty for foreign investors.<\/p>\n

Most Impactful ESG Initiative of the Year (highly commended)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initiative Rethinking Internships \/ Future Lawyer: Aequo Summer School<\/strong> combined Ukraine\u2019s first national survey on legal internships with the launch of a summer school for 2nd- and 3rd-year law students. The project addressed the growing gap between academic training and market needs and supports the development of young lawyers.<\/p>\n

Best Client Service (commended)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Startup Desk<\/strong> is Aequo\u2019s platform designed for technology and defence-tech teams.

Ukraine needs new legal approaches, transparent processes, modern education and strong support for innovative businesses. Together with clients, partners and young lawyers, we are building solutions that will form the foundation for the country\u2019s recovery and development\u201d<\/em> \u2013 comments Anna Babych, Executive Partner at Aequo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
