Ukrainian law firms Avellum and A.G.A. Partners have merged and will operate going forward under the Avellum brand.

Avellum Managing Partner Mykola Stetsenko and A.G.A. Managing Partner Aminat Suleymanova will act as co-managing partners of the combined firm. 

According to an Avellum press release, "Avellum's focus on high profile transactional and regulatory practices aligns with A.G.A.’s critical strengths in dispute resolution and international trade practices." Stetsenko explained the rationale for the merger this way: “Both firms set a very high bar for the quality of their lawyers and services. The combined firm will continue to be committed to professional excellence, teamwork, and passion for challenge as core corporate values. As an indisputable market leader in transactional practices, including M&A, finance, and capital markets, Avellum is pleased to further increase the breadth and depth of our dispute resolution practice. We are the right match!” 

A.G.A. Managing Partner Aminat Suleymanova agreed: “This is the consolidation of two extraordinary law firms with shared vision of what the future could be like together, similar cultures, and highly complementary practice strengths. With this merger, we are not just getting bigger, we are getting stronger.” 

Avellum was founded in 2009 as a Corporate Finance legal boutique and A.G.A. Partners was founded in 2005 as dispute resolution house. The new firm will consist of six partners and a total of 42 legal professionals. According to the Avellum press release, "the combined firm has a portfolio of over 2,000 completed projects in over 30 jurisdictions and enjoys recognitions of its 14 practice areas by the most credible international legal directories."

Avellum recently won the CEE Legal Matters 2017 CEE Deal of the Year Award for its work on Ukraine's 2017 Eurobond Issue. (As reported by CEE Legal Matters on June 7, 2018)
