DLA Piper is announcing that Illya Sverdlov, Legal Director, has been appointed as Head of Tax in the DLA Piper Kyiv office. Illya takes over the leadership role from Svitlana Musienko.
Margarita Karpenko, Managing Partner of DLA Piper's Kyiv office, commented: "Svitlana has decided to take a one year break in her career to pursue personal goals, and while we are sorry to see her leave, we greatly respect her decision. Over the past 11 years, Svitlana has contributed significantly to DLA Piper, and on behalf of the whole team, we sincerely thank her for her leadership and efforts toward building the tax practice that we have here today, and we will, of course, continue to work with Svitlana in her new role as Of Counsel. I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Illya on his new appointment, which, I feel, really reflects his leadership qualities and talent that are highly valued by our clients."
