Founded in 2015 by Ukrainian attorneys Yurii Bauman and Oleksandr Kondratyuk, Bauman Kondratyuk Attorneys’ Association is a Ukrainian law firm advising corporate and private clients in Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland.
Over the past decade, the firm has acted on a wide range of complex mandates: from protecting investors and advising leading companies in the pharmaceutical and agricultural sectors, to defending senior executives and private individuals in sensitive proceedings.
We focus on matters that call for strategy rather than process: cross-border transactions; tax and corporate disputes; white-collar defence; and the protection of business interests before regulators, law-enforcement authorities, and the courts — up to and including the Supreme Court of Ukraine.
Beyond client work, our attorneys contribute to legislative drafting in the relevant committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and to the wider legal community through lectures, publications, and professional training.
WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE US
A practice built on substance, not promises.
For more than a decade, we have advised Ukrainian and international clients on matters spanning Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Switzerland, and the United States. Our work covers litigation at every instance — including the Supreme Court — alongside cross-border transactions, regulated industries, and high-stakes commercial disputes.
Within the litigation practice, we have particular depth in commercial, tax, and white-collar work, representing business owners and senior executives in proceedings concerning economic, tax, and corruption offences. Where assets are at risk, we focus on what matters most to the client: preserving value and restoring lawful possession.
Our clients — Ukrainian and international companies, investors, and private individuals — return to us, refer us to others, and entrust us with their most sensitive matters. That trust is not given; it is earned, through preparation, discretion, and disciplined execution. Stay composed; we will handle the rest.

A foreign individual or company can establish a business in Ukraine remotely — without travelling here — by issuing a notarised power of attorney to a Ukrainian lawyer. The procedure usually takes three to ten business days, and the most common vehicle is a Ukrainian LLC, which may be 100% foreign-owned.

Choosing the right structure. Most foreign investors choose a Ukrainian LLC, whose sole founder may be either an individual or a foreign legal entity. Other options include a representative office, a joint-stock company for larger projects, or registration as a private entrepreneur once the founder holds a Ukrainian residence permit. At the outset, we help the client settle the registered office, the share capital, the business-activity codes (KVED), and the most efficient tax regime — either standard corporate income tax or the simplified tax system (typically 3 % or 5 % of turnover for Group 3 taxpayers).
Documents required from an individual foreign founder: a valid international passport with a notarised Ukrainian translation; a Ukrainian taxpayer identification number (TIN), which we obtain by power of attorney; and a notarised power of attorney, apostilled or consularly legalised in the country of issue, authorising us to act on the founder’s behalf in Ukraine.
Documents required from a foreign corporate founder: an up-to-date extract from the commercial register of the country of incorporation (issued no more than three months earlier), the company’s charter, a resolution of the competent corporate body approving the establishment of a Ukrainian subsidiary and appointing an authorised representative, and proof of the signatory’s authority. All corporate documents must be apostilled (or consularly legalised) and accompanied by a Ukrainian translation with the translator’s signature notarised.
What we deliver on a turnkey basis: ownership structuring (including holding structures in Poland, Lithuania, or Switzerland); drafting of the charter and the founders’ resolutions; obtaining the Ukrainian TIN; registration of the company with the Unified State Register; tax registration; opening of Ukrainian bank accounts and full support through the banks’ KYC and compliance procedures; obtaining any required licences and permits; provision of a registered office; and ongoing legal support, covering accounting, employment, and immigration matters for senior management.
A search is an investigative measure that is strictly regulated by law. Procedural breaches by the pre-trial investigation authorities can render the resulting evidence inadmissible, and the actions of the law-enforcement officers themselves may be held unlawful.
Restraining Order: A Legal Tool for Immediate Protection
A restraining order is an effective legal mechanism designed to provide immediate protection for victims of domestic violence. It allows the court to impose temporary restrictions on the offender to prevent further acts of violence or harassment.
The procedure for issuing a restraining order is regulated by the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention and Combating Domestic Violence” and the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine. The court may issue such an order for up to six months at the request of the victim, the victim’s representative, or the law-enforcement authorities.
In urgent cases, the police may issue an emergency restraining order for up to ten days without a court decision.
Restraining measures may include prohibiting the offender from living with the victim, banning them from approaching within a defined distance, or contacting the victim (including by phone or through third parties), as well as requiringthem to surrender any weapons.
No court fee is required for filing such an application, and the case must be heard within 72 hours of submission.
The National Police of Ukraine monitors the enforcement of restraining orders, and non-compliance entails administrative or criminal liability (Article 173-2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, Article 390-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
This mechanism provides swift and tangible protection for those at risk and stands as an essential safeguard for human rights and personal security in Ukraine.
