Sayenko Kharenko is among Ukraine’s most highly recognised law firms in the Chambers Global 2026 Guide, with three practice areas ranked and six lawyers individually recognised.
Corporate/M&A – Band 1
In Corporate/M&A, Partners Volodymyr Sayenko (Eminent Practitioner) and Oleksandr Nikolaichyk (Band 1), together with Counsel Dmytro Riabikin (Up and Coming), are recognised for advising on complex transactions shaped by martial law restrictions, sanctions compliance and geopolitical uncertainty.
The team combines advanced transactional structuring with corporate governance advisory, supporting foreign investors entering Ukraine and Ukrainian businesses implementing international standards.
Dispute Resolution: International – Band 2
Partners Olexander Droug (Band 2) and Olga Vorozhbyt (Band 4) represent clients in cross-border disputes and international arbitration under leading institutional rules, including mandates involving the State of Ukraine and international businesses managing regional exposure.
Dispute Resolution: Domestic – Band 3
Partner Oleksiy Koltok (Band 3) leads litigation before Ukrainian courts, handling complex commercial disputes where procedural precision and business context are equally decisive.
“Recognition in Chambers Global 2026 is not an isolated achievement-it is part of a consistent path,” said Volodymyr Sayenko. “We believe that the strength of Ukraine’s legal market depends on firms capable of advising at international standards whilst remaining deeply grounded in local realities. Our rankings across core practices confirm that this approach continues to resonate.”
Chambers rankings are determined through confidential interviews with clients and peers, emphasising practical effectiveness over firm size.
