In capital markets, there are lawyers who execute deals. And then there are lawyers who innovate, inspire, and operate at what the Lexology Index calls “the pinnacle of the global market.”
Sayenko Kharenko partner Nazar Chernyavsky has been named a Thought Leader in the Lexology Index – Thought Leaders: Capital Markets 2025. This distinction is reserved for practitioners whose expertise extends beyond technical execution to genuine thought leadership and market-shaping innovation.
With over 20 years at Sayenko Kharenko, Nazar Chernyavsky has structured many of Ukraine’s pioneering capital markets transactions – including the country’s first securitisations, Rule 144A share offerings, and Tier II Eurobond offerings. He also leads legislative development work with international donors including EBRD, World Bank, and European Commission, shaping Ukrainian capital markets infrastructure. His cross-sector expertise spans traditional finance and emerging technology, including contributions to global cybersecurity standards through the International Bar Association.
As Ukrainian capital markets continue to develop and attract international attention, having counsel who operates at the global pinnacle becomes increasingly important. It means businesses can access world-class expertise while benefiting from intimate knowledge of local market dynamics.
For international investors, it signals that Ukrainian markets have the sophisticated legal infrastructure necessary to support complex transactions. For domestic companies, it means access to innovation and insights that can differentiate their approach to capital raising.
