Founded in 1981 and first published in 1983, Best Lawyers is the oldest lawyer-rating publication in the U.S., and the gold standard for accuracy and integrity. Published for more than a quarter of a century, Best Lawyers in America® has been regarded as “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice,” according to The American Lawyer. Since 2009, it has been rating Ukrainian lawyers as well. The inclusion in this publication represents a unique and substantial achievement in 10 practice areas, which seven of Vasil Kisil & Partners legal practitioners obtained for the second time in a row. In 2010 Best Lawyers® recommends Vasil Kisil (Corporate, Investment, Litigation), Oleg Makarov (Arbitration and Mediation, Investment, Litigation, Real Estate, Tax), Oleg Alyoshin (Arbitration and Mediation, Construction, Litigation, Real Estate), Vadym Belyanevych (Arbitration and Mediation, Litigation), Denis Lysenko (Antitrust, Corporate, Investment, Mergers and Acquisitions), Tatyana Slipachuk (Arbitration and Mediation), Natalia Dotsenko-Belous (Real Estate). Selection to Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive and rigorous peer-review survey comprising more than three million confidential evaluations by top attorneys. Because no fee or purchase is required, being listed in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
... As noted above, the most important measure of the local Ukrainian firms is their ability to service international clients to the standards expected. On this score, Vasil Kisil & Partners is the most frequently recommended local firm. The name of the partner Vasil Kisil is particularly respected for his client-handling skills, and the firm as a whole has the strongest name of any Ukrainian firm for service delivery.
