At the beginning of my professional career, I worked as a Legal Advisor. My professional duties were focused mostly on legal affairs concerning Ukrainian Legislation. The legal issues I dealt with were various and included, but were not limited to, questions on Civil, Commercial, and Criminal Law.

I studied at Stockholm University and got an LL.M. Degree in European Law with a specialization in Competition Law. While studying at the University of Turku, I focused more on Intellectual Property Law, Data Protection Law, and IT Law, which led me to the role of a lawyer at an IT Company. This position covered a broad range of responsibilities. Among them were to name a few: 
Key Responsibilities:
 Data Protection: compliance/analysis/consultation (GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA), national data protection legislation of other countries around the world; relevant consultation in respect thereof; drafting of applicable documents.
 Foreign trade activities: (i) preparation and updating of contracts, NDAs, MOUs, SoWs/WOs, etc.; (ii) review and analysis of contracts provided by customers; (iii) analysis of foreign countries legislation; (iv) drafting of contracts and other documents of different types.
 Support of the company and its affiliates business activities, review and analysis of labor, tax and other rules and requirements in different jurisdictions.
 Intellectual property: (i) analysis of terms and conditions of various licenses (open source licenses, third party’s products); (ii) analysis of customers’ and\or contractors’ contracts; (iii) drafting and review of license agreements.
 Consulting on various legal matters, summaries/written explanation of legislation.
 Pre-trial debt collection.
 Contacting and communication with public authorities of different levels across the globe as well as with private organizations on various issues.
 Ongoing advice and other assistance of different departments (Quality Management, HR, Accountants, etc.), making roadmaps for them.
 Legal translation of the different documents.
 Visas, work and residents permits, relocation issues.

Working experience in the EU (Finland): at a law firm ( dealt with various legal issues) and counsulting company ( assistance to start-ups and small entities become GDPR-compliant, provide consultancy on other legal matters).

I have experience working in other foreign languages. Among them are (at different levels): English, Swedish, Finnish, German, French, Norwegian/Bokmål.
I hate boring work, so I expect to have challenging and complex tasks where I can grow professionally every day. Data protection/Intellectual property law/Contarct review/drafting is a must. Analysis and review of other jurisdictions (US, UK) is desirable. Work in English is a must. If I can apply other languages, I will be super happy.
