Former Sayenko Kharenko lawyer Mykyta Polatayko has moved to Aequo, where he will lead the firm’s IT industry group.

According to Aequo, Polatayko advises "multinationals and early stage technology companies on a wide range of issues from acquisition of local IT business and setting up development offices in Ukraine to copyright transfer and effective tax structuring. Throughout his career, Mykyta has specialized in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, information security, and data protection, as well as on e-commerce regulation and use of e-signatures."

For several years, the firm reports, "he has been actively participating in various public initiatives aimed to consolidate professional IT law community and develop legislation."

Before joining Aequo in April 2018, Polatayko worked spent a little over four years with Sayenko Kharenko. Until November 2013 he was CEO of SmartDoc, Ukraine's first legal tech start-up, which he founded in 2011. 

Polatayko received his law degree from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
