Igor Lebedenko
Legal Counsel & Compliance Specialist
Legal problems are cheapest before they happen. That’s exactly where I do my best work.
Expert Practice
Igor Lebedenko is a legal counsel and certified compliance specialist with more than 25 years of legal practice. His experience spans corporate, financial, tax, and administrative law. At AMS Europe, he provides the legal foundation behind the firm’s corporate, licensing, and compliance services.
His background combines private practice with in-house legal leadership. Over the years, Igor has advised businesses on registration and reorganisation, mergers and acquisitions, licensing, and investment projects. He has also led legal teams, managed complex contracts, and represented clients in court disputes. As a result, he understands both sides of legal work: strategic advice and day-to-day execution.
Today, Igor focuses on the areas where AMS clients need legal certainty most. He is a certified AML/CFT specialist trained under the Czech AML Act. Therefore, he works on AML policies, KYC procedures, and compliance documentation for regulated businesses. In addition, he supports company formation, corporate changes, and contract work for international clients. Working in Russian, Ukrainian, English, and Czech, he communicates with clients and authorities directly — without intermediaries.
What Igor Works On
