September 11, 2026 - THE UNLISTED PARTNER
Colton: Better than that. I watched the filing cabinet get formally decommissioned, the ashes swept up, and a press release issued thanking everyone for their patience. August eleventh. Treasury killed it clean — beneficial ownership reporting, gone, for every domestic company and every U.S. person behind them.

July 17, 2025 - Symposium on PMSCs: Ukraine’s New Bill on PMSCs – A Possible Pandora’s Box for Operations Abroad?
On 6 May 2025, a new bill was presented to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine: the “Draft Law on International Activities of Private Law Legal Entities in the Military and Security Spheres” (“Draft Law on PMSCs”).

This bill is pending parliamentary discussion in the Verkhovna Rada, but it is worthwhile to analyse its current state and potential challenges. Continue reading
