Advising the Government of Ukraine in a landmark mineral rights agreement with the U.S.
The Government of Ukraine sought to further strengthen its economic ties with the United States by giving the United States the opportunity for partnership and investment in Ukraine’s mineral wealth and other natural resources, as well as paving the way for the United States to work alongside Ukraine in engaging both private and public investors in Ukraine’s economic recovery.
Achieving this required careful legal structuring and cross-border coordination to ensure alignment with the United States, while advancing Ukraine’s long-term resource development objectives.
We assembled a cross-border, cross-practice team to advise the Government of Ukraine on this landmark agreement with the United States to enhance cooperation in developing projects to extract and develop Ukraine’s natural resources.
The agreement focuses on encouraging investment in Ukraine’s mineral resources and promoting economic growth through responsible resource development. As lead legal advisor, we helped pave the way for the U.S. to work alongside Ukraine in engaging both private and public investors in Ukraine’s economic recovery.
This historic deal demonstrates the power of international collaboration and reflects our experience advising sovereign clients on impactful cross-border agreements that connect legal strategy with global economic priorities.
