“The law will have a rather positive impact on our company. Unlike small companies, big corporations can’t provide each worker with a corporate stamp, which leads to constant problems… Moreover, signatures will add trust to partnership relations and make the responsibility for assigned decisions more personal.”

Oleksandr Mashtalyar,

lawyer at Agency of Anti-Crisis Solutions

“This law will not make a significant difference. Obligatory corporate stamps do not bring inconveniences to Ukrainian or foreign entrepreneurs. Problems with fake stamps will be simply substituted by problems with forged signatures.”

Christina Nuzhna,

legal consultant at Krohne Ltd., Germany-based producer of energy meters

“Every person that makes decisions in our company has a corporate stamp, so adoption of this law will not make any difference for us. However, implementation of new standards in documentation will bring certain inconveniences. I can’t imagine cooperation with banks without using corporate stamps.”

Sergiy Defyak,

lawyer at Euroconsulting

“Cancellation of corporate stamps will not have an impact on foreign entrepreneurs. Ordering stamps is a simple and cheap procedure: it takes one day and Hr 250, European entrepreneurs usually do not have problems with it.”
