Our legal company provides legal support for representative offices of foreign companies in Ukraine for more than 15 years.

Quite often legal support of representative office activity starts before the representative office is legalized in Ukraine. This is due to the fact that we advise foreign companies before they enter the Ukrainian market, including proposing various options of legal registration of their business activity in Ukraine.

Among the possible types of services offered by our company, a foreign representative office can be interested in the following:

  • Legal servicing - legal assistance and advice from a lawyer on all legal issues that may arise during the registration or business activity of a representative office. We answer your questions, we help you decide on the legally correct and profitable solutions;

  • Payroll - keeping personnel records in the representative office, recording of salaries and other payments to employees, maintenance of documents, which relate to personnel records of the representative office in Ukraine;

  • Accounting - control of business activities through the representative office accounts, we help with withdrawal of funds to the parent company, providing financial assistance, etc;

  • Tax Accounting - assistance and support of an accountant, provision of services of the accountant + lawyer.

We also help the representative office to enter the Ukrainian market as a brand, which may include protection of intellectual property rights and other.

Supporting the activities of representative offices of foreign companies, we pay attention to:

  • objective understanding of legal risks for a head of the representative office or responsible person, taking into account realities of Ukrainian law enforcement;

  • control over compliance with anti-corruption laws of the state of the parent company, as well as the FCPA norms;

  • confidentiality of our relations with the Client, and protection of any data obtained as a result of our cooperation (Client’s data are protected by technical means and procedures within the company).
