CIS LCN Published Second Edition of CIS Antitrust Guide “Comparative Summary of
Antitrust Laws in the CIS Economic Region” http://www.rulg.com/documents/Antitrust_Guide_CI SLCN_2Edition2012.pdf

We are very pleased to announce that CIS Leading Counsel network (LCN)* http://www.cislcn.com, in which our law firm represents Ukraine, published the second edition of its popular “Comparative Summary of Antitrust Laws in the CIS Economic Region” (CIS Antitrust Guide).

We believe that this practical CIS Antitrust Guide will help you navigate through the antitrust regimes in the nine countries of the CIS economic region and stay current with the updates that we will be adding on a regular basis.

The Ukraine Section of the CIS Antitrust Guide, which we authored, is also available to
download in PDF at our Web site at
http://www.rulg.com/documents/CIS_Antitrust_Guide_Ukraine_2012_June25.pdf. The laws and
regulations, as well as the practices of antitrust authorities in Ukraine are becoming increasingly
comprehensive and sophisticated, which prompts the need to regularly monitor changes in the
legislation and implementation practices.

Antitrust, and all of its aspects, has been one of the key specialties of our firm for many years,
and the outline of our antitrust experience is available at http://www.rulg.com/antitrust.asp. We
regularly send Legal Alerts (available at http://www.rulg.com/leg_alerts.asp) to our clients and
speak at international conferences on antitrust developments in Ukraine.

We will be happy to mail you the CIS Antitrust Guide in hard copy upon your request.
