Comprehensive Legal Support for Foreign Representative Offices

Establishing a foreign representative office in Ukraine opens valuable opportunities for expanding your company’s international footprint. However, the process can be complex, often involving strict regulatory requirements and a significant amount of documentation, including notarizations, translations, and apostilles. At every stage, attention to legal detail is crucial to avoid costly errors or operational risks. Our legal support services are designed to deliver peace of mind and strategic advantages throughout the entire lifecycle of your representative office—from planning and registration to ongoing compliance and regulatory reporting. We begin by carefully auditing your company’s objectives, the intended scope of office activities, and the specifics of your parent organization’s legal status. With this knowledge, we provide tailored advice on the necessary documents, legal forms, and compliance standards your business must meet. Our lawyers prepare a comprehensive, error-free documentation package that addresses all government requirements for foreign enterprises, including certified powers of attorney, property or lease certificates, technical passports, and any permits related to activities such as market research or promotional work. Once your application is ready, we manage the submission, act as your representatives before the Ministry of Economy, and tackle any regulatory queries or corrections promptly. We provide guidance to help you pass on-site inspections and respond to new regulatory changes. Post-registration, we remain at your side, helping you submit required statistical or tax reports, update registration data, and maintain full compliance with Ukrainian law—thus reducing risks of penalties or disruption. Our approach emphasizes complete transparency: we outline all costs, deadlines, responsibilities, and deliverables before beginning. This way, you remain in control while benefiting from our deep expertise, allowing your team to stay focused on core activities.
