Integrites has advised German-French defense contractor KNDS on a joint venture with a Ukrainian partner to maintain, refurbish, and overhaul Gepard self-propelled air defense systems.
According to Integrites, the venture will establish service facilities on Ukrainian territory – crucial for reducing logistics costs and turn-around time, thereby rapidly returning serviced Gepards to active use by Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
KNDS established its presence in Ukraine in 2024 (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on October 7, 2024).
The Integrites team included Senior Partners Julian Ries, Illya Tkachuk, and Vyacheslav Korchev, Partner Viktoriya Fomenko, Counsels Nataliya Kovalyova and Vasyl Yurmanovych, and Junior Associate Diana Kostina.
Integrites could not provide additional information on the matter.
