About us

Spilka is a nonprofit supporting Ukrainian lawyers abroad and advancing Ukraine's recovery through legal reform, advocacy, and professional growth.

About
Who we are?

Spilka community was founded in response to the dual challenges faced by Ukrainian professionals: navigating foreign business environments effectively and contributing to Ukraine’s post-war recovery. Established by a collective of legal professionals, Spilka is dedicated to empowering its members while advancing transformative societal change. Its mission reflects a hybrid approach, addressing both individual and collective needs while supporting Ukraine’s path toward a prosperous, stable, and democratic future. Spilka is transitioning from an informal legal professional community to a formally registered nonprofit membership association.
