Vladyslav Borysenko

Vladislav Borisenko – managing partner at the law firm “Borisenko & Partners,” an attorney with more than 20 years of legal experience. He specializes in litigation, commercial law, and legal protection for businesses, particularly in the manufacturing, trade, and service sectors. Vladislav is a firm believer in narrow specialization within the legal profession. His philosophy is based on the belief that in today’s world, it is impossible to provide a “full range of services for everyone.” That is why Borisenko & Partners focuses exclusively on assisting businesses, and the firm’s attorneys are familiar with the practical nuances that generalist lawyers might overlook.

Key Practice Areas:

1. Legal Representation. Strategic defense of business interests in commercial and administrative courts at all levels. Resolution of complex property disputes, collection of accounts receivable, and ensuring the effective enforcement of court decisions.
2. Commercial Law. Comprehensive support for business operations, drafting and reviewing complex contracts, providing legal support for commercial transactions, and minimizing the risk of counterparty default.
3. Tax Law. Effective representation in disputes with tax authorities, appealing tax assessment notices, providing support during tax audits, and strategic planning for a company’s tax compliance.
4. Criminal Law Protection for Businesses (White-Collar Crime) Protecting owners and senior management from criminal prosecution in economic matters, providing immediate on-site representation during searches, preparing staff for interrogations, and conducting preventive legal risk audits.

Thanks to its strategy of bringing together specialists in niche practice areas (from real estate lawyers to criminal defense attorneys), Borisenko & Partners Law Firm, led by Vladislav Borisenko, provides clients with comprehensive solutions that go beyond the scope of “general practice” attorneys.

Experience in Facts and Figures:

1. Legal practice since 2005, practicing law since 2012.
2. More than 10 years in leadership positions in the legal industry.
3. More than 600 won court cases.
4. More than 40 supervised searches and more than 200 supervised interrogations in cases involving economic crimes.
5. Over 5.5 billion hryvnias—recovered or preserved for clients in successful court cases.
6. The largest court case won (in terms of the amount of the monetary claims) involved the annulment of a tax assessment notice in the amount of 2.1 billion hryvnias.

Professional Creed

Vladislav’s guiding principle is to focus on the client’s ultimate goal, rather than on the process of providing services. He structures his work to deliver concrete, measurable results for the business, rather than simply selling legal billable hours. “In today’s world, the key to success is inspiration and specialization. No one can be an expert in everything. The greatest reward for me is a result that I’m proud to present to the client. We don’t provide services; we deliver results.”.
