The fifth edition of Legal Media Group's Rising Stars 2019 recognizes Maksym Nazarenko and Valentyna Hvozd as the only Ukrainian rising stars in the competition and antitrust practice area.

The Rising Stars guide represents a listing of the brightest and most talented practitioners in the area of business law and related practices. The guide classifies rising stars as recently appointed partners or senior associates who have already been recognized for their work in the background of important transactions.

To recognize rising stars, over 10,000 questionnaires were sent to senior practitioners involved in each practice area in more than 55 jurisdictions with a request to nominate individuals as defined above.
