On-Going USUBC Project on the White Paper on Legal and Governance Reform in Business and Economic Sector
For more than four years we have been leading a major pro-bono project on the White Paper on Legal and Governance Reform in Ukraine under the auspices of U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC), working on the third edition of the White Paper - this time jointly with UkraineInvest (Ukraine Investment Promotion Office), an independent institution led by a brilliant international team, which is tasked with solving the problems of existing investors and promoting Ukraine globally.
The second edition of the White Paper on Legal and Governance Reform in Ukraine: Strategic Priorities / Business and Economic Sector was presented at the second conference on Legal and Governance Reform on 30 October 2015 at the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).

Legal and governance reform needed in Ukraine
Ukraine needs a fundamental, systematic and structural re-design of its entire legal and governance system. The current system, which is enforced by a massive bureaucratic class, is not only inadequate, but it also sabotages any chances of Ukraine to become a modern State with a developed market economy integrated into the globalized world economy.
Dr. Paliashvili’s Op-ed was published by Kyiv Post on 2 October 2014 and distributed on 6 October 2014 by U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC).
