Public Procurement and Antitrust Law
This practice area encompasses comprehensive legal support for business participation in the public procurement system and interaction with the Anti-Monopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU). We conduct analysis of tender requirements, identify discriminatory terms, prepare tender proposals, and represent clients’ interests when challenging bidding results.
The state and municipal procurement market opens up massive distribution opportunities, but it is accompanied by exceptionally rigid formal requirements. The slightest technical error in a certificate can cause the rejection of the most advantageous proposal, while unscrupulous competitors or biased contracting authorities regularly resort to manipulations to ensure the victory of “insider” companies.
Engaging a qualified attorney multiplies your chances of winning a tender and allows for the restoration of justice if your rights are violated. We will help you lawfully and safely scale your business through government contracts and prevent you from being squeezed out of the market by anti-competitive methods.

Preparation of tender proposals and bids
Legal support throughout the procurement process
