Gramatskiy&Partners > Firm Profile

The firm

Gramatskiy and Partners was founded in 1998. From the moment of its establishment the firm perceived business legal practice as its own professional vocation, as well as a mission of serving the public. The firm’s unique expertise today allows Gramatskiy and Partners to advise hundreds of Ukrainian and foreign companies, providing them with complex aid and assistance in legal matters, combining classic legal practice traditions with modern international standards of legal services.

Mr Ernest Gramatskiy, the founder and president of Gramatskiy and Partners, has been representing the unique philosophy and style of the firm for many years. He forms its strategy and carries out the most important projects in court practice, foreign investments and international trade, business restructuring and company law. Mr Gramatskiy combines legal practice with fundamental science and teaching activity (chair of civil law, Kiev National Taras Shevchenko University). He is the founder and curator of many national and international projects on entrepreneurship and the defence of public liberties.

The pride of the firm is its personnel – the team of professionals who have stayed at the firm since the beginnings of Gramatskiy and Partners, worked their way up from its foundation, and continue working for the benefit of the firm and of its honourable clients.
