Anastasiia Didenko, Counsel and Head of White-Collar Crime, Anti-Corruption & Compliance at LCF Law Group, has been recognised as Pro Bono Leader of the Year at the Women in Business Law Awards EMEA 2026.
The Women in Business Law Awards EMEA recognise leading women lawyers, law firms, and legal teams advancing the legal profession across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The Pro Bono Leader of the Year category honours individuals who have made exceptional contributions to pro bono legal services and initiatives.
This is Anastasiia’s second consecutive international recognition for pro bono work. In 2025, she received the Leader of the Year award in the Pro Bono category at the Social Impact Awards EMEA. This latest honour highlights her ongoing commitment to access to justice, the rule of law, and the advancement of pro bono work.
Anastasiia has led the development of LCF Law Group’s pro bono practice for many years. Under her leadership, the team provides legal assistance to service members, veterans, families of fallen defenders of Ukraine, and individuals facing complex legal issues during or after military service. This work includes court representation, appeals of public authority decisions, assistance with statutory payments, document preparation, and other legal matters affecting those impacted by the war.
Commenting on the award, Anastasiia said: “Now more than ever, service members, veterans, families of fallen defenders and people facing exceptionally difficult legal and personal circumstances need support. In cases like these, it is not enough simply to know the law. It is equally important to stay alongside a person throughout the process and help them protect their rights. I am grateful for this recognition and deeply appreciate the LCF team, which dedicates its time, expertise and commitment to pro bono matters.”
LCF Law Group congratulates Anastasiia on this achievement. The award recognises her dedication to the rule of law and access to justice, as well as the ongoing contributions of the entire LCF team, which continues to support and deliver pro bono initiatives for those most in need of legal assistance.
