Illegal Corporate Raiders

I decide to post it because there are a lot request and opinion on Ukrainian legislative system and corporate relations. This is extremely important for investors in RE, and other ones at all.

Now, Illegal Corporate Raiders are broadly presented in corporate conflicts. So, I thought you have to read and know this. I'm appreciate to American Chambers of Commerce in Ukraine and its President Jorge Zukoski personally.


Recently, under the auspices of the Chamber, a Working Group has been active in analyzing the issues surrounding the activities of illegal corporate raiders and proposing recommendations to addresses these impediments to current and future investment. The Working Group is comprised of representatives of Ukrainian and foreign companies specializing in legal and consulting services as well as specialists in the sphere of corporate governance.

The current deliverable developed by the Chamber Working Group is a White Paper entitled "Illegal Corporate Raiders". The document contains information that highlights issues and remedies which require the joint efforts of Ukrainian executive and legislative authorities, both the foreign and domestic investment community, representatives of the judiciary, as well as experts and scientist who are engaged in the sphere of economic and corporate governance reform. The recommendations put forth are directed to the prompt and effective implementation of a transparent system of property rights protection governed by the rule of law in Ukraine.

The Chamber anticipates that the White Paper will provide another tool to stimulate a discussion and provide a catalyst to positively influence much needed change. The Chamber's Policy Team and the Chamber Working Group on Illegal Corporate Raiders stands committed to working with our partners among the Membership, in the Ukrainian government as well as the diplomatic and donor community to advocate for much needed changes in this sphere.
