Sayenko Kharenko has been awarded Silver League status in the 2026 edition of WTR 1000 – The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals. Partner Oleg Klymchuk received Silver League and counsel Volodymyr Hrunskyi Bronze League individual recognition.
WTR 1000 highlighted Sayenko Kharenko as a premier destination for innovation-led IP counsel, recognising the firm’s considerable scale, depth of expertise, and seamlessly integrated IP & TMT practice.
Trademark protection rarely fits into neat categories. A licensing negotiation can become an enforcement action. An M&A transaction hinges on IP due diligence. A brand expansion requires both registration strategy and litigation readiness.
This is where Sayenko Kharenko’s approach proves its value. Oleg Klymchuk handles the transactional side – cross-border M&A, technology licensing, and commercial agreements where IP assets often determine deal value. Volodymyr Hrunskyi leads complex IP litigation, from pharmaceutical patent disputes to anti-counterfeiting enforcement. Together, they offer clients something increasingly rare: seamless coverage across the entire IP lifecycle.
With one of the largest dedicated trademark teams among Ukrainian full-service firms, Sayenko Kharenko continues preparing clients for EU market entry as Ukraine’s European integration accelerates.
