In this episode of Good Morning BSS World, I connect with Myroslav Khmarskyi, co-founder and partner at Avitar, a Kyiv-based legal firm specializing in IT law and digital compliance. Our conversation opens with an insightful update on Ukraine’s thriving IT industry, fresh from the IT Arena — the country’s biggest tech event. Myroslav shares how Ukrainian startups continue to innovate even amidst challenging times, with a growing focus on defense tech and digital transformation. We then dive deep into the story behind Avitar, a firm founded in 2018 that has become a trusted partner for IT companies and startups seeking clarity in the complex world of international data protection and compliance. From helping startups structure their legal foundations and register teams, to guiding mature companies through GDPR and global privacy laws, Avitar’s mission truly lives up to its Sanskrit-inspired name — “the one who helps.”
