DEGA PARTNERS provides legal support to Ukrainian and international manufacturers of home appliances, electronics, electrical equipment and engineering systems, as well as importers, distributors, retail chains and service companies, on organising, developing and legally securing their activities in Ukraine.

We help clients develop effective commercial models, bring their business processes in line with the law and protect their interests in relations with counterparties, regulators and consumers.
