ANNOUNCEMENT: conference on «Trade wars: the art of defense»

On May 20, Kyiv will host the conference “Trade Wars: The Art of Defense,” organized by the law firm “Ilyashev & Partners” in collaboration with DONE® and the publishing house “Yuridicheskaya Praktika.”

Participants are invited to discuss the most pressing issues in international trade. The path to the EU, border closures, changes in export structures, and new customs regulations—this is the reality in which the “art of defense” of one’s own trade interests becomes a key skill for business survival.

The conference will address the following topics:

  • how the rules of the game are changing for Ukrainian businesses in global markets,
  • what to expect from trade with the EU in the coming years,
  • how to protect one’s interests amid intensifying competition and the emergence of new barriers.

Conference time: 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. (registration begins at 9:30 a.m.). The venue in Kyiv will be communicated to registered participants the day before the event.

Owners, top managers, and heads of legal and foreign economic departments of major Ukrainian and international companies are invited to participate in the event.

Participation in the event is free of charge, subject to additional confirmation of registration from the organizers. Seating is limited. The organizers reserve the right to refuse registration if the seating limit is reached.

Information partner of the event – GMK Center

Registration is available via the link.
