MK Legal Service

What MK Legal Service does

MK Legal Service is a Kyiv-based legal services firm founded in 2011 that provides B2B legal advisory to small and medium-sized businesses in Ukraine. The firm operates across nine practice areas — Corporate Law, Tax Law, Dispute Resolution, Customs Law, Labor Law, Migration Law, Criminal Law, Intellectual Property, and Competition Law & Procurement — and three industry verticals: IT/TMT, HoReCa (restaurants and catering), and Real Estate & Construction. It is led by Managing Partner Maksym Kurochko, with additional partners heading each functional practice, and a team of approximately 10 lawyers and attorneys.

The firm offers four primary product lines: Legal Practices (multi-discipline advisory), Industrial Solutions (vertical-specific legal support), Legal Subscription Service (monthly retainer packages in three tiers — Corporate Lawyer, Corporate Attorney, Legal Business Partner — priced from UAH 30,000/month domestically or $800/month internationally), and Legal Trainings (educational programs for business owners). The subscription model is the primary recurring revenue stream, designed to give SMB clients multi-disciplinary legal coverage at a cost below a full-time in-house lawyer.

MK Legal Service is privately held, founder/partnership-owned, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. Distribution is direct-to-client via website consultation forms, phone/toll-free lines, partner-level Telegram outreach, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). The firm serves a mix of SMBs and mid-market enterprises across hospitality, logistics, IT, real estate, financial services, and media, with named clients including Borysov, Chernomorka, GigaTrans, GigaCloud, MDM Group, Synchron, YouTV, Mirta, and Sherp. The firm is ranked among TOP-50 law firms in Ukraine and TOP-10 in IT law by Yurydychna Practika Publishing, recognized in Yuridychna Gazeta's Market Leaders rating (2020), and listed in Ukrainian Law Firms: A Handbook for Foreign Clients.
