Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- I work directly with Integrites partners Oleksiy Feliv and Viktoriya Fomenko, and they continue to be extremely responsive to tight deadlines and provide very good suggestions and redlining of contracts. They also write memos or emails in great detail on what the steps in the process are and which steps we need to take. We are extremely happy with the service level they provide and the quality of their legal advice. We would not have achieved our level of success in Ukraine without Integrites or the partners that we work with.
- We continue to be very impressed with Integrites because their partners are deeply knowledgeable about the new laws and regulations in Ukraine, have contacts within the government and regulators so that we can clarify the new regulations, tax issues, and other matters for a highly regulated and national security industry. We have a long-term framework agreement with Integrites and will continue to use this firm in Ukraine.
