Cooperation with the international business community Board

Mentoring as a new level of interaction

In 2025, this participation reached a new level, and the managing partner of Barbashyn Law Firm, Serhii Barbashyn, became a mentor to the Board community.

As part of our mentoring role, we advise participants, share insights and support the formation of legal maturity of the business. For Barbashyn Law Firm, this cooperation is not only a contribution to the development of the professional community, but also an important part of the mission: the formation of modern legal thinking in the business environment.

In addition, Serhii Barbashyn is an active member of the Board Legal Club, a section of the Board community that focuses on legal issues important to international business. Barbashyn Law Firm is pleased to join the discussions, share its expertise and contribute to solving complex legal challenges faced by the community members.
