Avellum has advised the American University Kyiv on establishing its campus in the Kyiv River Port building, in Poshtova Square in Kyiv.
"The American University Kyiv is a private university in Ukraine designed as an innovative world-class institution with its foundation fully based on US higher education standards," Avellum informed. "It is the first university in Ukraine to partner with Arizona State University, the most innovative university in the US according to the US News & World Report. This partnership gives American University Kyiv access to Arizona State University curriculum, exchange programs, and unique opportunities to offer dual degrees from both American University Kyiv and Arizona State University."
In 2022, Avellum also advised on the initial establishment of the American University Kyiv (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on September 9, 2022).
The Avellum team was led by Partner Maksym Maksymenko and included Senior Associate Daryna Mykhailenko and Associates Rostyslav Mushka, Yuliia Pidlisna, and Inna Erbelidze.
Editor's Note: On July 3, 2023, Integrites announced it had advised the American University Kyiv on real estate issues related to the River Port building – updates to the building's renovation plan and lease agreement – which will now include "bomb shelters in order to ensure a seamless educational process at the AUK." The firm's team included Managing Partner Oleksiy Feliv and Senior Associate Tetiana Storozhuk.
