Each year, extensive research is conducted within Ukraine and abroad to analyse the dynamics of the legal market. Such rankings assess shifts in key practice areas, identify industry leaders, and assist businesses in selecting legal advisors that best meet their specific requirements.
One such study is Ukrainian Law Firms: A Handbook for Foreign Clients (ULF) — an in-depth review of the Ukrainian legal market tailored for international institutions and companies. This handbook is a staple in the offices of international organisations, banks, consulting firms, and corporations operating in Ukraine.
In the ULF 2025 rankings, Riyako & Partners secured a position among the Top 15 law firms in Ukraine for Criminal Law and White-Collar Crime. The firm’s Managing Partner, Yevgen Riako, was recognised as a leading practitioner in this field. Additionally, the firm was ranked among the top legal practices specialising in Military Law.
Beyond the numerical rankings, the study provides a qualitative assessment of the firm’s development:
"The criminal practice of Riyako & Partners is demonstrating substantial growth, driven by an increasing caseload in white-collar crime and the firm’s strategic focus on business defence. The firm has expanded its expertise in protecting clients from law enforcement pressure, particularly in disputes involving alleged violations in public procurement for military needs and infrastructure projects. The practice is led by Managing Partner Yevgen Riako, with Oleksandr Shevtsov serving as a key solicitor in criminal defence and business protection matters."
The ULF 2025 ranking confirms Riyako & Partners' expertise in white-collar crime, business defence, public procurement, criminal defence, and military law, while highlighting the primary trends of the Ukrainian legal market in 2025.
