Testimonials
I don’t know Sergey very well, but he’s good. The issues he spots are excellent catches. It was interesting to watch him challenge and elevate my team
I’ve known Sergey for nearly 10 years, and we still work together. He’s been there since the earliest days of the company — and continues to be a trusted partner to this day. I only wish his rates were still what they were back then!
I’ve been working with Sergey for over 6 years. He consistently puts clients’ interests first, dives deep into each case, and offers creative, well-thought-out solutions. His involvement always leads to better outcomes. Every case we've had ended positively — I highly recommend him.

Sergey is a rare mix of deep legal expertise and an entrepreneurial mindset. His advice is sharp, pragmatic, and efficient. Over the years, we’ve built a strong partnership, working from simple contracts to complex M&A deals, all handled with precision and timeliness. His dedication and attention to detail make him a valuable asset to any business

Sergey has represented UTF on multiple occasions in our dealings with the Ukrainian government. He has always delivered on his promises and been highly efficient in every interaction over the past decade.
Huge thanks to Sergey for his professionalism and skill: from drafting contracts and designing client workflows to optimizing operations across multiple jurisdictions. He has always delivered with speed and precision. Honestly, I can’t imagine how we’d manage without him. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Sergey (Just be prepared: you might need to wait he’s in high demand for a reason)

We’ve been working with Sergey for years and are extremely satisfied. His knowledge across jurisdictions is solid, and his answers are always well-thought-out. Communication is smooth, he’s highly client-focused, and quick to respond, even jumping on client calls independently when needed. Across the board: legal skills, strategic mindset, and soft skills: 10 out of 10
I’ve been working with Sergey for many years. His support during the setup and structuring of our UK company was invaluable. Thanks to his guidance, we closed several key contracts that became the foundation of our business. Sergey identifies risks early and helps secure strong legal positions. Your company is in safe hands with him.
