AVELLUM acted as the Ukrainian legal counsel to major shareholders of AXDRAFT, a Ukrainian document automation company, on its sale to Onit. We advised on tax and corporate structuring, as well as transactional matters pertaining to major shareholders.

Yuriy Zaremba, co-founder and CEO of AXDRAFT, commented: “AXDRAFT has become the first Ukrainian legal technology startup to make a successful exit. We are happy that we started our journey with AVELLUM partners as our angel investors and AVELLUM as one of our first clients. The AVELLUM team support was also really valuable in the closing of this transaction.”

Back in 2017, Glib Bondar and I were the initial “angel” investors in this promising startup,” said Mykola Stetsenko, managing partner of AVELLUM, “AXDRAFT potential was indisputable to us and definitely worth investing. Yuriy Zaremba spotted and addressed the issue lawyers encounter every day. Today, we are excited to see how AXDRAFT skyrocketed, and we are proud that Yuriy started his professional journey at AVELLUM.”
