Leshchenko & Partners

LESHCHENKO & PARTNERS is a Ukrainian full-service law firm with over 15 years of practice, recognised in the international Legal 500 ranking for its Dispute Resolution practice and trusted by leading national businesses, international groups operating in Ukraine, and private clients.

Headquartered in Kyiv with a regional office in Odesa, LESHCHENKO & PARTNERS advises corporate clients and private individuals across more than 15 practice areas. The firm has particular strength in dispute resolution, white-collar crime defense, commercial litigation, tax and customs disputes, sanctions cases, bankruptcy and restructuring, land and real estate disputes, and international human rights protection before the European Court of Human Rights.

The firm is built around unconventional and creative litigation strategies. Our team combines law, logic, and out-of-the-box thinking to design tailored legal positions for complex matters where standard approaches fail to deliver results. We do not rely on templates — every engagement begins with a deep dive into the facts, a detailed risk assessment, and a strategy crafted specifically for the client's situation.

Our core practices include White-Collar Crime and Criminal Law, Commercial Litigation, Civil and Family Law, Administrative Disputes, Sanctions Cases, Tax and Customs Law, Land and Real Estate Disputes, Public Law Disputes, International Law and Human Rights (ECHR), Financial and Banking Law, Enforcement Proceedings, Bankruptcy and Restructuring, Anti-Corruption Practice, Intellectual Property, and Private Clients services.

We act for clients across multiple sectors of the Ukrainian economy, including energy and renewables, agriculture and food production, oil and gas, alcohol and beverages, real estate and infrastructure, logistics and shipping, and industrial holdings. Among our clients are AgroSolar, Global Spirits, Ochakiv, Smart Holding, Smart Energy Group, Regal Petroleum, UGV, Naval Logistics, Promenergoproduct, Veres, and other established national and international groups operating in Ukraine.

Our attorneys represent clients before all instances of Ukrainian courts, including the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, as well as before the European Court of Human Rights, UN human rights bodies, and the International Register of Damages caused by the Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine. We have a strong track record of overturning unlawful decisions of state bodies, defending business owners and top executives in criminal proceedings, contesting sanctions designations, and protecting client assets in enforcement and ARMA-related matters.

Our approach is defined by a tailored strategy for every case, transparent communication, and unconditional focus on results. Clients have access to their attorneys 24/7, and the first consultation is always free. We explain risks honestly, never promise the impossible, and remain a point of support for our clients from the first step to the final decision.

The firm has been repeatedly recognised in leading legal rankings, including Legal 500, "Lawyer of the Year", "100 Best Lawyers of Ukraine", "Market Leaders", and the Ukrainian Law Firm. A Handbook for Foreign Clients. In 2026, Managing Partner Oleksandr Leshchenko was named among the Top 50 business leaders of Ukraine.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion, LESHCHENKO & PARTNERS has remained in Ukraine, supporting clients in matters that have arisen as a result of the war, including business relocation, asset protection, sanctions, mobilisation and labour-law issues during martial law, and applications to the International Register of Damages.
