Pressing ahead with its development strategy Asters is announcing the launch of its French Desk, focused on providing comprehensive support for corporate and private French-speaking clients.
The new desk is led by Senior Associate Bohdan Shmorhun, who speaks French. Bohdan has an excellent track record with energy and real estate projects, both representing clients and successfully liaising with the state and local authorities.
Asters' experience with clients from French-speaking countries includes advising AXA Group, CIB Credit Agricole, Leroy Merlin, L'Oreal, Sanofi Ukraine, Total, Gas de France, Societe Generale, Renault Ukraine and others.
"As the largest Ukrainian law firm with global reach Asters is able to provide a coordinated and seamless service with cross-border support when our clients require it," comments Asters Senior Partner Armen Khachaturyan. "Asters has been advising companies from francophone countries since mid-90s. The newly established French Desk will serve as a main point of contact for the firm's French-speaking clients providing a convenient and efficient client-oriented interface."
Asters earlier launched its Nordic Desk (led by Norwegian lawyer Damien Magrou) and German Desk (headed by Marta Barandiy).
Asters is the largest law firm in Ukraine with offices in Kyiv, Washington D.C., Brussels and London. Chambers Europe 2021 recognizes 23 lawyers of Asters – the largest number of the renowned practitioners in a single Ukrainian law firm.
