Igor Lebedenko
Head of Compliance
Preventing risks is always more effective and less costly than dealing with their consequences. That is the core of my work.
Expert Practice

What Igor Works On
AML/CFT policies & implementation
Development and implementation of AML/CFT frameworks under the Czech AML Act — internal policies, KYC/CDD procedures, risk assessments, and the system of internal principles, aligned with the company’s real processes and risk profile.
AML advisory & compliance support
Ongoing compliance support for obliged entities: answering regulatory questions, reviewing documentation, updating procedures as Czech and EU requirements change, and preparing companies for inspections by supervisory authorities.
Company formation & corporate changes
Corporate support for company formation and corporate changes in the Czech Republic — founding documents, shareholder agreements, corporate governance, and reorganisations, including mergers and acquisitions.
Contracts & corporate documentation
Preparation, review and negotiation of commercial agreements, internal regulations and corporate policies. Igor helps ensure that terms are clear and unambiguous, minimise contractual risks and protect clients’ interests.
Licensing & regulatory filings
Preparation of corporate documents, internal policies and regulatory submission materials for AMS projects involving crypto-asset, payment services and financial licensing.
Dispute resolution & mediation
More than two decades of litigation experience in commercial, civil, and administrative matters. Igor represents clients’ interests in disputes and, where possible, uses mediation to reach faster and less costly outcomes.
