About me
I specialise in M&A and venture capital transactions. My focus is supporting startups, from advising on founder relations to legal support on raising additional capital or exits.
Certificate of attestation of person providing legal services № 17, issued on 17.01.2023 by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus.
Professional highlights
Supporting transactions. I have taken part in supporting prominent M&A and venture capital transactions. More specifically, I have participated in a transaction to attract financing from angel investors, based on a convertible loan contract construed under the Belarusian law, which was the first of its kind in Belarus.
Experience in diverse fields. Apart from corporate law, I have experience in supporting projects and advising on intellectual property, labour law, personal data protection, special legal regimes and token sales.
Understanding of IT startups. I have experience of working with IT startups, so that I have a good understanding of the needs of these kinds of businesses and can offer solutions appropriate for them.
