What Everlegal does

Everlegal is an independent Ukrainian law firm founded in 2013 and headquartered at Sofiiska Square, Rylskyi Lane 4 in Kyiv (01001, Ukraine). The firm provides commercial and pragmatic legal advice across a full spectrum of practice areas — Corporate Law and M&A, Banking and Finance, International Arbitration, Criminal Law, Antitrust and Competition, Commercial Law, Labor Law, Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property, Debt Collection, and Sustainable Development — and applies these capabilities across sector-specialized practices covering energy (with strong renewable energy / solar M&A credentials), innovations and technology, agriculture, real estate and construction, banking and finance, FMCG and retail, pharma and healthcare, infrastructure and transport, and media and advertising. The firm reports approximately 60 lawyers and attorneys, led by Managing Partner Yevheniy Deyneko and six additional partners (Andriy Porayko, Andriy Olenyuk, Vsevolod Volkov, Oleksandr Ruzhytskyi, Taras Ivanenko, Dmytro Trut), with partner expertise spanning dispute resolution, international arbitration, sustainability, and transactional practice.

Everlegal serves enterprise clients across three horizontal segments: industry leaders with global brands, mid-size businesses, and growing startups. The client roster spans international institutional organizations (UNHCR with a 15-lawyer dedicated team, NRC with a 9-lawyer dedicated team, DRC), major corporate counterparties (UDP Renewables on its Nebras Power / Qatar investment partnership covering six solar SPVs, Louis Dreyfus Company Ukraine, Agromino, UNIT.City on a EUR 50 million EIB finance facility, DELFAST), and governmental / sovereign clients (Embassy of Japan in Ukraine). The firm operates on a quote-based, professional-services pricing model with no publicly disclosed fee schedules, and acquires clients via direct enterprise engagement, professional referrals, industry events, and content-driven thought leadership (NewsBox newsletter, publications, webinars).

The firm has no proprietary technology platform or productized software offering. Its non-legal initiative is the GetMarket platform, described as Ukraine's first platform for investing in green and sustainable projects. Everlegal is privately held under partner management with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or external capital, consistent with the typical structure of a Ukrainian professional law partnership. The firm consistently ranks in the TOP-10/TOP-50 of Ukrainian law firms (Yurydychna Gazeta 2024–2026) and has received consecutive recognition in Chambers Global, Chambers Europe, Legal 500 EMEA, IFLR1000, FT Innovative Lawyers Awards, and UN Global Compact sustainability categories.
