KYIV. Sept 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Miller Canfield, one of the largest law firms in Michigan with 19 offices in the USA, Canada, China, Poland, Mexico and Qatar, and Dictio, a boutique law office in Ukraine, have signed an affiliation agreement and are starting cooperation.
"We have joined forces in order to assist clients in the present humanitarian efforts and in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction," according to a joint statement of the companies.
According to it, priority areas of cooperation in the near future are the reconstruction/construction of residential and industrial facilities, healthcare facilities, and infrastructure (roads, bridges, engineering networks).
It is expected that thanks to this agreement, international clients of Miller Canfield will have access to legal support in Ukraine, and Dictio clients will have access to the international network of Miller Canfield offices.

With three offices in Poland, we have been providing aid and advice to many organizations working with Ukrainian refugees, including medical and charitable groups," Miller Canfield CEO Megan Norris said.
"Rebuilding Ukraine’s infrastructure, housing stock and healthcare facilities will be a massive undertaking, involving billions in foreign aid to Ukraine and the participation of American and European companies," Miller Canfield Principal Richard Walawender said.
"We have joined forces just in time to help clients navigate the challenges and opportunities created by the Ukrainian government’s United24 Recovery initiative," Olena Shtohryn, managing partner of Dictio, who specializes in construction law and real estate law and advises the Construction Confederation of Ukraine, commented on the agreement.
