“We are delighted to announce this strategic integration and to welcome Borys and his team to the firm," commented CMS Kyiv Managing Partner Graham Conlon. "With Life Sciences increasingly attracting the global spotlight, this important expansion of the team demonstrates our on-going commitment to delivering advice to our clients. The breadth and depth of Borys’s experience, along with the expert support of his committed team, will strengthen and expand our life sciences offering.” 

Before establishing his own firm in 2012, Danevych spent ten years at Paritet law firm. He received his Master’s degree from the University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy in 2006. According to CMS, “Borys brings more than 15 years of experience working with international pharmaceutical, biotech, research and development, and medical devices companies, as well as healthcare services and health technology organizations.”
