Ongoing international structure support
Ongoing access to cross-border advisory without building an in-house international team. A single point of coordination for structure, banks, the regulatory context and several jurisdictions — with a clearly defined scope and local counsel engaged where required.
Ongoing coordination, not a one-off project
A format for companies that already have an international structure but no one to keep it coherent. Between projects the structure keeps living: accounts are opened, banks send queries, regulation changes, new jurisdictions appear. Ongoing support covers that perimeter without the need for an in-house hire.
We become the first point of contact for a cross-border question: we handle matters of Ukrainian law and public international law ourselves; the rest is handled by qualified local counsel.
When ongoing access is needed
An international scale-up
The company is growing in several countries, but keeping an international legal team is still premature.
A group of companies
The structure is spread across jurisdictions and needs to be kept coherent rather than patched piece by piece.
A family business
A family business with an international perimeter that needs a standing adviser rather than an occasional one.
A founder after structuring
The structure is built — now it needs to be maintained and kept from drifting away from reality again.
An expansion phase
Entering new markets generates a stream of questions across different countries that need to be kept within one logic.
Recurring banking matters
Onboardings, compliance queries and source-of-funds requests arise constantly and need a single line.
The perimeter of the support
Coordinating jurisdictions
A single point of contact: we keep the structure and matters across countries within one logic.
Ukrainian and public international law
Advice is given directly by an Advokat (Ukraine) within section 206 BRAO.
Governance and corporate decisions
We support governing decisions so that they do not diverge from the structure and its substance.
Banking and SoF matters
We hold the line with banks, prepare source of funds and explain the business model as queries arise.
Monitoring changes
We track what is changing in the client’s perimeter and flag the questions that need a specialist’s conclusion.
Engaging local counsel
We find and bring in local counsel wherever a local licence or opinion is required.
Honest about the scope of the support
Ongoing support is strong precisely because its boundary is defined transparently. It is an international, coordinating perimeter — not a substitute for local regulated advice in each country.
- Ukrainian law and public international law are handled directly, within section 206 BRAO.
- German law and tax, and the law of other countries — are handled by qualified local specialists.
- Formal opinions on local law are signed by the relevant local counsel.
Formats of support
Base access
Scheduled consultations and handling of incoming cross-border questions at an agreed cadence.
Extended
Priority access, support for banking and regulatory matters, and regular monitoring of the structure.
Enterprise / multi-jurisdiction
Coordination of several jurisdictions and advisers, project management and an agreed level of response.
The number of hours, the cadence and the cost are set after an initial qualification of the request — tailored to the specific structure and the intensity of matters. There is no public price list by design: the format is configured individually.
How this connects to the rest of the practice
Ongoing support usually follows project work: first the structure is put in order, then it needs to be kept coherent. The format naturally rests on the audit, structuring and banking readiness.
Frequently asked
Is this a replacement for an in-house lawyer?
It is ongoing support of an international structure: coordination of structure, cross-border matters and several jurisdictions. It covers the international perimeter, while local-law matters in specific countries are handled by local counsel.
On what law do you advise?
Advice on Ukrainian law and public international law is provided directly by an Advokat (Ukraine) within section 206 BRAO. LEXONYX does not advise on German law or German taxes. These matters, like the law of other jurisdictions, are handled by qualified local specialists — in Germany, in particular, lawyers and tax advisers.
How does pricing work?
A retainer with tiers of access. Scope and cost are set after an initial qualification of the request, tailored to the specific structure and the intensity of matters. We do not guarantee a particular outcome before banks and regulators.
