For the second consecutive year, Sayenko Kharenko remains the only national law firm to have earned Tier 1 recognition by International Tax Review's World Tax guide in Ukraine.

According to the World Tax, Tier 1 firms "are the 'go-to' firms in their jurisdiction and are praised by taxpayers and peers alike as market leaders in all key areas of tax: planning, transactions, transfer pricing, indirect taxes and litigation. They have specialists working with clients in all industries, and this is reflected by the size, spread and quality of transactions detailed in the questionnaires." The guide highlights that Sayenko Kharenko's tax team "bridges the gap between the Ukrainian tax authorities and the business community and often helps clients obtain advance tax rulings."

World Tax recognizes Serhiy Verlanov, partner, head of tax practice, for "his extensive experience in tax litigation" and "advising clients on cross-border structuring, transactions, due diligence and VAT."

"We are honored to be recognized again as a leading firm in the latest edition of World Tax. This is the result of our clients' high appreciation of our expertise level and work of our tax team. We are committed to providing our clients with value-added tax solutions and striving to exceed their expectations," says Serhiy Verlanov, partner and head of tax practice.
