Exploring IP Law: Insights and Opportunities for Law Students at the Ukrainian Student League Forum


The "mysterious sphere of intellectual property" became clearer and more understandable for the participants of the Ukrainian Student League Legal Forum, which took place on the last day of summer in the innovative atmosphere of Unit City. The meeting with students was interactive, with a focus on questions and answers.

Our firm’s managing partner, Oleksandr Mamunya, helped the audience better understand the conflict of interest matter that law firms may face from time to time. He shared insights into the prospects of the intellectual property practice, using real-life cases to illustrate the diverse, creative, and unique nature of a lawyer's work in this area.

At Mamunya IP, we are very interested in the professional initiatives of younger colleagues. It's a great opportunity to talk with students, be inspired by their enthusiasm, check our expectations for the future, and in a way, conduct a 'check-up' of our accumulated experience to ensure it remains relevant

Students were also interested in the current opportunities in the market, particularly how senior colleagues have expanded their professional expertise beyond Ukraine. Besides the obvious advice to learn English and build a strong legal vocabulary, Oleksandr recommended participating in international competitions, debate, and moot courts.

At Mamunya IP, we place special emphasis on this: our lawyers train Ukrainian teams every year for participation in the prestigious international moot court on IP law – the Oxford International Intellectual Property Law Moot Competition – and achieve excellent results. Participants in national competitions have the opportunity to join the Mamunya IP team and realize their career ambitions.

Inspired by the stories of senior colleagues, forum participants also had the chance to practice speaking in front of an audience. During the workshop, they divided into several teams and worked together on arguments for presentations, particularly discussing the benefits of professional internships.

We are always open to cooperation with young colleagues in any convenient format. For more detailed information about the internship opportunities, you can contact Oleksandr directly at:
