In the middle of 2013 our company required to establish a representative office in Ukraine.

Upon requesting services of your law firm we received comprehensive information about representative office registration procedure, required resources and terms that helped us to assess the situation and finally reassure ourselves about the decision we made.

During registration of the representative office lawyers of your firm showed absolute control over the registration procedures, professionalism in drating of documents and representation in the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, our participation and expenses related to these procedures were minimized.

Also we would like to remark thorough attention to our requests, promptness of provision of advices and clarifications. As an example we can provide a situation when our company faced difficulties related to receiving of certificate from the bank. Employees of the firm who represented us in negotiations with the bank provided clear and detailed explanations in regard to requirements that are set by the Ministry which helped us to receive the required document as soon as it was possible.

We felt no discomfort during work despite the fact that our company is located in a foreign country.

Non-governmental organization “Ukrainian Squash Federation” expresses its gratitude to attorneys of your law firm and personally to its managing partner Volodymyr Gurlov for high level of professionalism, promptness and competence that were shown during provision of legal services to our Federation in regard to amendment of our charter and reelection of members of management bodies.

As of May of 2014 the Federation had been already unsuccessfully trying to change its management bodies for two years. A new law of Ukraine which was aimed at regulation of our activities entered into force in January of 2013. At some point we turned to your firm for help and our issue was solved within one month.

Attorneys of your law firm did not only draft new version of our charter that was in accordance with our requests and amended law, but also conducted legal analysis of our charter documents, helped us to understand whether we had organized and held the general meeting of members of the Federation in a proper manner, formalized all the documents that were necessary for registration of changes in the management bodies and what was the most important, to complete all the registration related actions without our participation.

We currently continue cooperation in regard to drafting of regulations and other internal documents of the Federation.

Ukrainian Squash Federation recommends Mr. Gurlov’s law firm as a reliable partner in the field of legal support of activities of non-governmental organizations and sports federations in particular.

We wish your friendly team professional success and luck.

Before moving to Ukraine with my wife and 4 young children, I was aware of the difficulties that are involved in living in a foreign country. We did not want just an average firm helping us with our residency situation, but we wanted to find a firm that would be able to assist us not only on the legal side, but also, would work in a manner that would make the transition smooth for my large family.

This is why I retained the services of Volodymyr Gurlov and his law firm in order to legalize our stay in Ukraine through obtaining residence permits.

Since one of the major reasons for us to move to Ukraine was participation in charitable activities, lawyers of the firm advised us to create a local charity which would subsequently serve for our immigration purposes as well.

At the same time, they did not only provide legal advice on numerous matters of local immigration, labor and tax law, but also, on many occasions personally accompanied us during visits to state authorities, which for a foreigner can be quite a challenge.

When possible, the firm represented our interests based on power of attorney, which saved us a lot of time.

As the result of this cooperation, we successfully got our 3 year residence permits which allowed us to concentrate on the family, as well as, charitable work instead of worrying about renewing our residence status all the time.

It was a very pleasant experience working with Volodymyr Gurlov and his team. As someone who has worked with firms in other countries and sought legal counsel in the United States, I can tell you that I felt very “at home” working with them. What I mean by that is, they are very professional in what they do, they did everything that they said they would do, they did everything in a timely manner, and they always made everything very comfortable for me and my family. We were very at ease with them and they are trustworthy. I am so glad that we found them!

Based on our positive experience of cooperation with Volodymyr Gurlov and his team we can recommend them as a reliable legal advisor on the matters of Ukrainian law.

Regards,
Daniel Holmes
