Construction and real estate workshops usually provoke genuine interest and gather numerous attendees. This time around the event brought together representatives of construction companies and producers of construction materials and construction & industrial equipment, as well as operators in food industry, telecommunications and providers of banking, consulting and legal services who came to listen to highly professional expert comments on the land title and legal aspects of construction.

Recently, a great many regulatory acts governing or directly influencing construction sector operations have been substantially amended.

In particular, she analyzed the draft Tax Code in terms of land plot transactions, construction and securities and examined the Law of Ukraine “On State Private Partnership”, the Law of Ukraine “On Simplifying Terms for Doing Business in Ukraine”, and the Law of Ukraine “On the Permits Procedure in Management” for construction market participants.
