3rd Polish Ukrainian Legal Day
More information
We are pleased to present the 3rd Polish Ukrainian Legal Day to be held at The House of Metropolitan at St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, Ukraine under the auspices of the International Bar Association (IBA) on September 18, 2015.
Following our two previous successful Polish Ukrainian Legal Days we will again welcome participants from Polish and Ukrainian jurisdictions to discuss the present situation, opportunities and perspectives for the development of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation in the context of Ukraine's striving towards European integration.
In addition to the important sessions surrounding business and investment issues, the aim of this year’s Polish-Ukrainian Legal Day is to develop and strengthen cooperation between the representatives of legal communities both in Poland and Ukraine.
In light of the foregoing, the issues connected with the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, the Polish perspective and experience as well as Ukrainian expectations will also be discussed.
