Legal Services

 

BDO in Ukraine provides legal services across all areas of commercial law. Our goal is to deliver qualified legal advice that helps you make the right business decisions. In complex commercial situations, we combine the expertise of our legal advisors with the knowledge and experience of our colleagues from the global BDO network spanning 166 countries.


Our approach is based on thorough preliminary diagnostics, a clearly agreed action plan, and ongoing implementation support. During execution, we integrate legal analysis with practical business reviews — adapting contract models, fine-tuning corporate governance and compliance procedures, developing internal policies and documentation, providing legal support for transactions, and monitoring regulatory changes. This approach transforms legal advice into a clear operational roadmap with measurable results.

When needed, our legal team works in close collaboration with BDO’s tax advisors, financial analysts, and industry experts. This integrated approach ensures that clients receive a coordinated solution — combining a sound legal position, tax impact assessment, management recommendations, and control mechanisms that can be seamlessly embedded into ongoing processes. Such synergy is especially valuable for structured transactions, cross-border operations, and projects with heightened regulatory requirements.

Legal services form part of our Tax & Legal practice and are seamlessly integrated with related offerings — including transfer pricing, tax due diligence, and tax advisory. This enables to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end solutions and ensure a consistent, unified approach across both legal and tax frameworks.
