Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Great support throughout the work together.
- I am absolutely delighted by the cooperation of the whole Asters team, but especially with Oleh Boichuk, who is accessible and offers valuable expertise and evaluates offers with the best value for the client in mind, a very rare case (including suggestions to minimize certain steps where possible and appropriate to keep the budget). Excellent input from Gleb Bialy about the likelihood and perspectives for litigation has been invaluable. I am not well-equipped to rate associates properly due to very minimal contact with them; they mainly communicated with our in-house legal team.
- Asters is really proactive and involved, offers direct access to partners, is flexible with timing, and adapts to client needs without bureaucracy as a boutique firm would. At the same time, it offers wide expertise in the subject field as an industry major. The level of partner involvement is quite unprecedented while remaining affordable. Also, it's very valuable to have a realistic assessment of litigation as a possible outcome from the very beginning and to have the possibility to evaluate strategy with possible litigation in mind.
- ‘We worked closely with Oleg Boichuk, Viktoriya Demydenko, and Oleksii Sapura, all of whom played a critical role in the success of our transaction. Oleg provided strategic oversight and legal clarity throughout the process. Viktoriya and Oleksii were deeply involved in the day-to-day execution and negotiations. Their approach was constructive and solution-oriented, particularly in interactions with the seller and the seller’s legal counsel.'
