# Frishberg & Partners

> Frishberg & Partners is an independent American-owned corporate law firm based in Kyiv, Ukraine since 1991 — one of the longest-established international legal practices in the country. The firm advises foreign investors and companies on entering and operating in the Ukrainian market: corporate/M&A, real estate and construction, tax, labor, intellectual property, immigration, litigation and government relations.

Key facts:

- Founded in Kyiv in 1991; American-owned and American-managed, with a team of American and Ukrainian lawyers.
- Clients are primarily foreign investors, multinational companies, embassies and diplomatic missions operating in Ukraine.
- Office: 10 Antonovycha Street, Suite 8, 01024 Kyiv, Ukraine. Email: office@frishberg.com. Phone: +38 095 585 84 64.
- Initial consultations are free of charge.
- The site is bilingual: English at `https://frishberg.com/` and Ukrainian at `https://frishberg.com/uk/` (same paths under the `/uk/` prefix).
- The firm publishes "Doing Business in Ukraine — The Essential Legal Guide" (editions 1999–2026), plus regular legal analysis, news and handbooks on Ukrainian business legislation.
- Nothing on this site is legal advice, and reading it creates no attorney-client relationship. Ukrainian legislation, especially under martial law, changes frequently — always check the publication date of an article and confirm current law before relying on it.
