REDCLIFFE Partners is an independent Ukrainian law firm founded in December 2015 in Kyiv as a result of the transformation of the Kyiv office of the international law firm Clifford Chance.[1]

History[edit]

In 2008, Clifford Chance, the first law firm from the “Magic Circle” of five international law firms headquartered in London, opened an office in Ukraine.[2]

In the summer of 2015, due to the unstable economic situation in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the war in eastern Ukraine, Clifford Chance decided to cease operations in Ukraine, and the Clifford Chance office in Kyiv was reorganized into REDCLIFFE Partners LLC on December 1, 2015.[3] The firm was headed by Oleksiy Soshenko and Dmytro Fedoruk, who had previously worked at Clifford Chance. The partnership of REDCLIFFE Partners also includes Rob Shantz and Zoryana Sozanska-Matviychuk.[4][5][6][7]

Clifford Chance entered into a “best friends” agreement with the reorganized REDCLIFFE Partners, and the lawyers who had previously formed the core of Clifford Chance in Ukraine continued to work in the company.[8][9][10]

In 2018, Redcliffe Partners provided legal support to Saudi Arabian agricultural and livestock investment company SALIC in the acquisition of assets of Mriya agricultural holding. The deal was recognized as the Deal of the Year by the 2018 CEE Deal of the Year Awards.[11][12][13]

In the spring of 2019, Redcliffe Partners acted as Ukrainian legal counsel to J.P. Morgan Securities Plc as a loan coordinator for the construction of a 250 MW wind farm near Lake Syvash in Kherson region. The signing ceremony took place at the World Economic Forum in Davos with the participation of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. The deal has been recognized as one of the best deals of 2020 by the IFLR Europe Awards.[14][15][16][17][18]

In January 2021, REDCLIFFE Partners acted as a legal counsel to American investors Aspect Energy and SigmaBleyzer in signing a Production Sharing Agreement (PSA) with the state of Ukraine. These companies became the first American investors under PSA terms after Chevron's exit from Ukraine in 2014.[19][20]

In 2023, REDCLIFFE Partners advised the U.S. Development Finance Corporation (DFC), the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) on the provision of parallel loans totaling up to US$480 million to Myronivsky Hliboproduct Group (MHP) to refinance its Eurobonds. The deal was recognized as the Deal of the Year by the 2023 CEE Deal of the Year Awards.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
