Arzinger has announced that Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the Prime Minister of Ukraine, has appointed Arzinger Associate Anton Yanchuk to a position as Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine for European Integration.
At Arzinger, Yatsenyuk practiced contract law, foreign trade, intellectual property rights, competition, healthcare, and retail trade.
Arzinger Managing Partner Timur Bondaryev commented on losing his second lawyer to the new government: "As a result of the last month’s reboots in the government two legal experts of Arzinger were appointed to important government posts (in May, Arzinger’s Partner Vitalii Kasko was appointed Deputy Attorney General for International Legal Cooperation). We are witnessing the emergence of a new state, and this process requires the involvement of new specialists to work in the government. We appreciate the high confidence placed in our colleagues and I hope that they will justify it. I am sure of their high professional and ethical level and I think that their appointment will really contribute to the work of the government. I wish Anton good luck in his new position, and I hope he will make every effort to promote the rule of law in Ukraine."
