To help businesses choose an attorney, trade publication Yurydychna Gazeta (Legal Newspaper) identified the best lawyers by area of expertise based on their annual survey of corporate lawyers and law firms. The results of the survey were approved by the international auditing company, Grant Thornton Legis LLC, and the market research agency, NOKs fishes. It is published here in the Kyiv Post Legal Quarterly first.
The poll covers 20 major legal practices: intellectual property; agriculture & land; antitrust & competition; banking & finance; energy & subsoil; mergers & acquisitions; corporate; criminal law and procedure; tax & customs; international arbitration & mediation; real estate & construction; media law & IT; family law; sports law; litigation; labor; pharmaceuticals; international law & external economic activity and investment.
The survey does not rank lawyers. Names appear in alphabetical order. Yurydychna Gazeta published similar rankings in the 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 calendar years.
