DEVOSO law firm acts for participants in Ukraine’s electricity market. Our clients include generators and renewable energy owners, traders, suppliers, industrial consumers and energy storage operators. We build defence strategies in court, represent companies before NEURC, the AMCU and the tax authority, and support them through inspections.
Why DEVOSO law firm focuses on energy
The electricity market has its own logic. Licence conditions, market rules, the transmission and distribution codes and frequent regulatory changes all apply at once. As a result, ordinary business issues — a contract, a dispute, an inspection — carry specific risks in energy.
We chose this focus deliberately. You therefore do not need to explain to us what an imbalance is, what a balance responsible party does or how a DSO contract works. We get straight to the point.
What we do
- Litigation and defence strategy. Disputes over settlements, imbalances, metering and arrears; challenges to decisions of authorities.
- NEURC. Licences, explanations and objections, appeals against resolutions and fines.
- AMCU. Merger clearance, responses to requests, defence in investigations.
- Tax. Audits, challenges to tax assessments, blocked VAT invoices.
- Inspections. Readiness reviews and a lawyer on site during the inspection.
- Monthly retainer. Day-to-day legal work for a fixed fee.

Our approach
Partner-led
Every matter is led by a partner who sets the strategy and attends the key hearings and negotiations. So you always know who is personally accountable.
Budget agreed upfront
We agree the scope and fee before we start. For most matters, we offer a fixed fee or a phased budget. Your CFO can plan accordingly.
Candid advice
We never promise outcomes, because the final decision rests with a court or an authority. Instead, we explain the realistic scenarios and the consequences of each choice. We also report regularly on progress, next steps and new risks.
Values
- Accountability. We only take on work we can do well and on time.
- Confidentiality. Client information is protected by attorney privilege.
- Practicality. We give advice you can act on, not academic memos.
- Integrity. We do not act where there is a conflict of interest.
