The team has prepared the restated charter documents and represented the company in negotiations with the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine up until adoption of the company's updated charter on 12 September 2017.
The Baker McKenzie team is led by Serhiy Piontkovsky, managing partner, and includes Andrii Moskalyk, senior associate, and Oleksandr Kez, associate.
