Outsourced Legal Department — a Full Team at the Cost of One In-house Lawyer
LLC & sole prop.
Contracts
Foreign trade
Tax defence
Military reg.
EN / PL in-house
Today you need to review a contract with a Polish counterparty, tomorrow respond to a tax authority request, the day after — register your enterprise for military service and defer a key specialist. A single in-house lawyer rarely covers all of this at once. O'LAW works as an external legal department for Lviv-based businesses: contracts, foreign trade, tax, HR, corporate matters and representation — all in one team.
Information current as of 2026. We work with LLCs, sole proprietors, IT companies (Diia.City residents), manufacturers and e-commerce projects. Documentation, negotiations and correspondence — in Ukrainian, English and Polish.
"We don't take sick leave, we don't all go on vacation at the same time, and we don't quit at the worst possible moment. If one lawyer is unavailable — a colleague who already knows your case takes over."
Who This Service Is For
Small & medium business
LLCs and Group 3 sole proprietors who have outgrown the "contract on the knee" stage and want a lawyer on call without a full-time hire.
Foreign trade
Exporters, importers, dropshipping, e-commerce with cross-border payments. English-language contracts, currency control, counterparty correspondence.
IT & Diia.City
Diia.City residents, outsourcing teams, product companies. Client contracts, gig contracts, IP, relocation matters.
Manufacturing & services
Enterprises with their own staff, production facilities and need for military registration, employee deferment and labour safety.
Foreign-trade contracts in English — no translator in between
We draft and review contracts with foreign partners directly in English. We work with Polish counterparties in Polish. That means faster negotiations, precise wording and no loss of meaning in translation — a major advantage for exporters and IT teams in Lviv.
The Economics: In-house Lawyer vs Outsourcing
Outsourcing isn't a replacement for an in-house lawyer — it's a complement or an alternative for businesses not ready to maintain a full legal department. Here's how the costs look in Lviv in practice:
