GoldenGate is a boutique law firm that mostly focuses on international sports law and commercial arbitration. Swiss quality, English pedantry, Italian creativity and Ukrainian tenacity are the milestones for the firm’s development and success.

GoldenGate Law Firm is committed to providing the highest quality legal services. We focus primarily on the client’s needs and our crucial goal is to resolve the matter our client entrusted to us exclusively within the client’s interests and highest ethical standards.

GoldenGate cooperates closely with international legal advisors from numerous jurisdictions. Our brand implies the idea of being a “legal bridge” between Ukrainian market and foreign companies, taking care of a client’s problems and needs during the performance of business in Ukraine.

The team at GoldenGate, which is a truly internationally-oriented, includes highly-qualified, talented, multilingual lawyers. Most of them gained valuable experience and knowledge studying and working abroad.

The firm’s lawyers constantly advise and represent clients in international commercial disputes before arbitration panels under the rules of various institutions, including LCIA, SCC, ICC, ICAC, VIAC and CAS. We also provide services to Ukrainian and international companies engaged in international commerce, requiring constant legal support over their import/export transactions.

The firm’s Sports Law practice deserves particular attention; in 2016 the firm’s lawyers were involved in 57 sports-related arbitral proceedings to an overall disputed amount of around EUR 91 million, and supported 31 football transfers to the value of around EUR 117 million, being the leading firm in this area of law. Proceedings on disciplinary and doping-related matters are another section of our sports law expertise.
