Sayenko Kharenko – legal counsel to Abris Capital
Sayenko Kharenko acted as a Ukrainian legal counsel to Abris Capital Partners on acquisition of key retail assets of Torgovyi Svit from Roveks, a Ternopil-based wholesale distributor.
Roveks made a strategic decision to focus on its wholesale business and sold the Torgovyi Svit retail chain. The 17 Torgovyi Svit stores will be rebranded as Barvinok, Abris’ existing Western Ukrainian food retailer. The Roveks transaction represents the first successful post-crisis restructuring in the food retail sector in Ukraine.
Sayenko Kharenko team was led by partner Vladimir Sayenko and included counsel Dmytro Korbut and lawyers Julia Gubareva, Maksym Nazarenko.
