Roman Shulyar’s practice focuses on banking and finance, debt restructuring, and currency regulation. Apart from these, he also advises clients on corporate and M&A matters. Roman’s expertise covers classical products (e.g., plain vanilla financing and conventional M&A deals) and innovative services concerning FinTech, open banking, and cryptoassets. Roman’s understanding and insights into M&A and finance are derived from his 15+ years of experience working at Ukrainian and international law firms, where he made his way from paralegal to partner. He gained his first experience in M&A deals and cross-border loan financing in 2006-2007 when the Orange Revolution spurred a keen interest in Ukraine among foreign investors and lenders. However, the global financial crisis of 2007-2008 and the armed conflict in Donbas that followed the 2014 Maidan revolution put on hold many deals. At the same time, they brought much work in debt restructuring and distressed M&A. Presently, with the Ukrainian booming IT sector and the country’s burgeoning infrastructure industry, Roman primarily concentrates his practice on these particular areas offering the Clients not only his transaction experience but also relevant industry expertise.
