The N&D law firm in Ukraine has rebranded as Evris.
According to former-N&D/now-Evris, the firm "aims to become a law firm of a new type that would work under the corporate principles of business process design, in contrast to the classical consulting legal practice. The main legal practices of Evris are Dispute Resolution, Corporate and M&A, Banking & Finance, Tax, FinTech, as well as developing Private Wealth, Investments, Energy, and IT.:
The firm reports that its team "started the reorganization and rebranding process at the beginning of 2017 when new practices were developing rapidly and the necessity of new business process design arose." According to the firm, "Managing Partner, Andriy Dovbenko, expanded the business to several new legal practices by adding more renowned lawyers to invaluable Head of Dispute Resolution Ihor Kravtsov. As of September 2017, Sergiy Benedysiuk, Head of Corporate and M&A, Andriy Reun, Head of Tax, Sergiy Papernyk, Head of Banking and Finance, are developing their practices in Ukraine. Olena Lazareva is responsible for Business Development, Marketing and PR, while HR processes are managed by Iryna Chegryntseva. Volodymyr Nosik, Doctor of Law Sciences, Professor of Land and Agricultural Law department of Kyiv National University, Taras Shevchenko University, joined Evris as Of Council in Agro and Land."
According to Dovbenko, "the main reason behind the new brand is understanding today’s business’s reality. The speed of processes is constantly accelerating, which results in increasing uncertainty and unpredictability. The risks and prices for mistakes [are growing] as never before. Under such conditions what comes to the fore is team members’ ability to apply their legal talents in understanding of the situation, in deep knowledge of Ukrainian and international legislation, and in flexibility of thinking and understanding of sector-specific issues. These times demand not traditional methods but new ideas and talents to go ahead under volatile conditions."
The idea of a talent as the main X-factor enabling modern business to stay sustainable and grow by creating revolutionary ideas is the basis of our brand," added Olena Lazareva. "Clients who brought their talents to light in business are expecting the best results from their partners which can be achieved when talented people who know their trade and are able to invent new solutions unite into one team. The new bright idea is associated with the word 'eureka,' which is behind the name Evris. Talent – idea – eureka – Evris!'"
