Sayenko Kharenko and two IP professionals recognised in IP STARS 2026

Sayenko Kharenko has been ranked as a Tier 3 firm in the IP STARS 2026 rankings for the Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The firm’s intellectual property practice has also received two individual recognitions: partner Oleg Klymchuk as a Transactions Star and senior associate Anastasiia Finko as a Rising Star. 

The recognition reflects the firm’s ability to advise clients on the full spectrum of intellectual property matters – from strategic IP structuring and technology transactions to portfolio management, enforcement and complex IP disputes. 

Oleg Klymchuk has been recognised as a Transactions Star for his work on complex transactions involving intellectual property, technology and digital assets. He regularly advises clients on cross-border M&A, joint ventures, financing, licensing and other transactions where IP is a key business asset. 

Anastasiia Finko, recognised as a Rising Star, advises clients throughout the entire IP lifecycle, from protecting and commercialising intellectual property to representing clients in disputes involving trademarks, copyright, domain names and other IP rights.

IP STARS, published annually by Managing IP, is one of the world’s leading rankings dedicated exclusively to intellectual property law. The research is based on extensive independent analysis, client feedback, interviews and market recommendations, recognising the leading IP firms and practitioners across more than 80 jurisdictions.
