We are renowned for our work with technology, media and communications clients.
Supporting TMC clients is one of the key priorities for Sayenko Kharenko. From rapidly expanding and promising start-ups to unicorns and blue-chip tech multinationals, from successful solo authors and artists to media giants, from developers of disruptive technologies to the leading national and global telecom providers, we think you will struggle to find few other law firms in Ukraine who can provide such a holistic support for TMC clients throughout their full lifecycle. We also act for many of the high-profile investors – from early stage funds to international venture capital firms and corporate investors and we perfectly understand their needs, as our partners have their own first hands experience of investing in tech startups and mentoring them to become successful IT outsourcing or product companies.
