Asters acts as a legal counsel to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in connection with its EUR 25 million financing to Yuria-Pharm, Ukraine’s leading manufacturer of intensive care medicines, medical devices and antiseptics.
A six-year loan of up to EUR 25 million from the EBRD will help Yuria-Pharm expand its existing production facilities and introduce an innovative solution for the Ukrainian market, which will help customise cancer treatment practices.
