GoldenGate is a young boutique law firm with a particular focus on international sports law, commercial arbitration and business law. Swiss quality, English eye for detail, Italian creativity and Ukrainian tenacity are the milestones for the firm’s development and success.

GoldenGate is committed to providing the highest quality legal services. We focus primarily on the Client’s needs and our crucial goal is to resolve the matter our Client entrusted to us exclusively within the Client’s interest and in line with the highest ethical standards.

GoldenGate works closely with international legal advisors from numerous jurisdictions. Our brand implies the idea of being a “legal bridge” between Ukrainian market and foreign companies, taking care of a Client’s problems and needs while doing business in Ukraine.

The team of GoldenGate, which is truly internationally oriented, includes highly qualified, talented, multilingual lawyers. Most of them gained valuable experience and knowledge studying and working abroad.

The firm’s lawyers constantly advise and represent Clients in international commercial disputes before arbitration panels under the rules of various institutions, including LCIA, SCC, ICC, ICAC, VIAC and CAS. We also provide services to Ukrainian and international companies engaged in international commerce, requiring constant legal support over their import/export transactions. The firm’s Sports Law practice deserves special attention; in 2015 alone, the firm’s lawyers were involved in 48 sports-related arbitral proceedings of an overall dispute amount of around €62 million, and supported 47 football transfers worth around EUR 97 million, as the leading firm in this area of law.
