Ukrainian Desk

Ukrainian Desk. Direction set by Advocate Witold Wiącek

The Ukrainian Desk practice at MLW Legal is developed under the leadership of Advocate Witold Wiącek, a partner of the firm managing this area. His experience encompasses the full spectrum of issues that define contemporary business dealings between Poland, Ukraine and international markets - from M&A transactions and corporate advisory, through private equity, venture capital and optimisation of cross-border structures, to arbitration, commercial disputes and negotiations conducted in matters requiring resolve, precision and excellent business judgement. As a result, the Ukrainian Desk is not merely a specialised regional practice, but a mature advisory platform for clients who expect personal partner involvement, the highest standard of service and tailor-made solutions for complex and multi-layered projects.

MLW Legal’s standing

The firm’s standing is further strengthened by external recommendations and distinctions related to its activity on the Ukrainian market. These include, among others, a recommendation from the International Association of Polish Entrepreneurs in Ukraine, confirming the perception of the firm as a reliable and trustworthy partner for business communities in Ukraine. 

In 2025, Advocate Witold Wiącek and Dr Magdalena Leszczyńska-Wiącek were honoured by the Bar Council of the Kyiv Region with distinctions from the Ukrainian Bar in recognition of their professionalism, legal expertise and commitment to advancing legal cooperation. In Wiącek’s case, this distinction is of particular significance because it confirms his position as the managing partner of the Ukrainian Desk and one of the principal architects of this practice. For clients, this means access to advice led by a lawyer who combines corporate, transactional, litigation and negotiation competences with genuine roots in the legal and business environment of Ukraine. These elements are significant not only from an image perspective, but above all in practical terms - they strengthen the trust built in relationships with clients, entrepreneurs and institutions on both sides of the border.
