Bio
Olena Manuilenko
Ema is a brilliant lawyer, an enthusiastic leader, a reliable colleague, and an amiable person. I have been working with her closely for the past 7 years in the fields of e-commerce, e-media, ICT, product regulation, consumer protection. I have noticed that clients appreciate her ability to find pragmatic solutions to intricate legal issues in a cost and time effective manner. Her sharp mind is always open for new knowledge and her energetic personality never lets her fight shy of a challenge. I admire her confidence, dedication, and striving for personal growth and professional development.
