At the heart of Ario’s values, standing tall on the highest pedestal, are the opportunities that we create for clients, society, and the state of Ukraine. Our passion, ideas, creativity, openness, adaptability to change, love of the law, and hunger for justice – all are summed up in the succinct slogan ‘Rock the Future with the Rule of Law’.

We’ve never shied away from change; often we’ve been the initiators. Ario lawyers are reshaping our country, leading reforms that are reshaping whole industries.

Our partners and attorneys are actively involved in the development and implementation of several key reforms, including the reform of the Enforcement Service, improvements in corporate law, improvements in bankruptcy and restructuring procedures, judicial reform, and more. This involvement enables us to anticipate potential legislative changes and legal trends during the strategy preparation phase, ensuring that we provide the most informed advice to our clients.

Our team takes on complex and high-profile cases. For example, we’ve protected former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili, defended the Mayor of Lviv Andrii Sadovy, represented the former Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine Serhii Pashinskyi, represented Concord Bank in a dispute with the National Bank of Ukraine over the unlawful withdrawal of a license, restored the solvency of the prestigious “Eldorado appliance chain”, and also tackled many others.

In order to increase our contribution to the society, lawyers of Ario Law Firm actively participate as members of specialized working groups, particularly those devoted to the drafting of laws on compensation for damage caused by Russian aggression, such as Law No.7198.

Julian Khorunzhiy, Senior Partner, is one of the architects of the new Euro-integration legislation on enterprises that are at risk of bankruptcy, whose aims are balance and the consideration of debtors’ interests, inspired by EU Directive 2019/1023 on preventive restructuring.

Partner Yevhen Hrushovets heads the Public Anti-Corruption Council of the Ministry of Defense.
