The directory is not compiled from submissions. Practitioners are identified through independent research among peers and clients within one narrow practice area. In franchising, where Ukraine has only a handful of specialists, a repeat listing means the first was not an accident.
Why franchising
Anna Tsirat has run a franchising practice for many years. Over that period:
- two books on franchise relationships and franchise agreements;
- a substantial roster of foreign clients entering the Ukrainian market on a franchise model;
- participation in the regulatory debate — from critique of the draft Ukrainian franchising bill to a paper on the current state of franchise regulation in Ukraine.
Practice, published work and a role in shaping the regulation — that combination is what the directory researchers pick up.
Entering Ukraine on a franchise model?
We take the franchise agreement apart against Ukrainian law: what carries over from the master agreement unchanged, what has to be redrafted, how to protect trade marks and know-how, and how to work around the absence of a dedicated franchising statute. Describe your situation and we’ll respond within one business day.
