ILF (Inyurpolis Law Firm) is an independent Ukrainian law firm whose core focus is on litigation and business support (business setup, transactional support, regular advisory support). The firm has been operating on the market for 27 years through its two offices located in two major cities, namely Kyiv and Kharkiv.

Among ILF’s strong points is the ability to follow up on court decisions and attain tangible results. This is due to years of experience dealing with debt recovery for banks and insurance companies (USD 500 million recovered in 2007-2017) as well as deposit recovery from liquidated banks on behalf of companies and individuals.

We carry out business support through our commercial, corporate, M&A, tax and other teams, which follow an industry-minded approach. The team’s diverse expertise ranges from business structuring and high-profile contracts to corporate acquisitions and asset deals. We’re known for our successful business structuring record in the IT sector, support of sophisticated technology contracts, and public-private partnership work in the field of healthcare and pharmacy.

We help our foreign clients to get a clear understanding of the Ukrainian business environment, based on our knowledge and experience in medicine and pharmacy, agribusiness and alternative energy, IT, banking and finance. Our regular clients include Avon Products, Volvo Ukraine, BASF Ukraine, Malteurop Group, Ecostar/DISH, SPS Commerce, EGGER, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and Amcor Tobacco Packaging.

Our industry-oriented approach enables us to discover legal solutions for business as well as manage projects dealing with institutional changes. In 2016-2017 ILF lawyers, working together with an expert team from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and supported by the World Bank and UNICEF, designed legislation on primary healthcare reform.
