Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has signed the memorandum of understanding and is providing pro bono legal advice to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine as it establishes a development fund to attract public and private sector capital for the future reconstruction and recovery of its economy.
According to Freshfields, “the fund, which will be launched with the advisory support of BlackRock Financial Markets Advisory, will be designed to provide a path for both domestic and international public and private investors to assist Ukraine with financing its post-war development efforts across infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and other key areas. Under the memorandum of understanding, Freshfields will also support the Ministry on the further development of an investor-friendly legal climate.”
The Freshfields team is led by Partner Seb Lawson.
