Asters has launched a new Forensic practice headed by Counsel Sviatoslav Ogreba.
According to the firm, the practice “focuses on fraud detection, economic crime investigation, and developing protective measures against financial, operational, and reputational risks. Its lawyers provide a comprehensive analysis of the companies' activities to support decision-making for business owners, investors, and senior management.”
Ogreba has been with the firm since 2019. Earlier, he worked for the National Bank of Ukraine between 2015 and 2019. Earlier still, he was an Auditor with PwC between 2014 and 2015 and KPMG between 2011 and 2012.
"The ongoing war in Ukraine has created unprecedented challenges for local businesses," said Ogreba. "Office destruction, persistent cyberattacks, military mobilization, and widespread business migration – these conditions have created opportunities for fraudsters while making investigations more complex. We have launched Forensic practice in response to growing demand for sophisticated business protection services, offering our clients expert guidance and practical solutions for risk mitigation and decision-making."
