NABU Suspect Andriy Yermak Co-Founds Law Firm in Vinnytsia

Launch of the 'Edvox' Law Partnership

According to Главком: On June 23, a new legal entity named 'Edvox' was registered in the city of Vinnytsia, with Andriy Yermak listed as one of its co-founders. The firm’s authorized capital totals 100,000 Ukrainian hryvnias. The other co-founder and director of Edvox is Zhanna Hrushko, who also serves as Yermak’s deputy on the Committee for the Protection of Victims of Armed Aggression under the National Association of Lawyers of Ukraine.

According to capital contribution records, Hrushko invested 60,000 hryvnias, while Yermak contributed 40,000 hryvnias. The registered address of Edvox matches that of Hrushko’s own legal center. Notably, from 2014 to 2019, Hrushko worked as a paid assistant to Serhiy Kudlayenko, a former member of parliament from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc.

Legal Practice and Ongoing Allegations

Andriy Yermak, who previously served as the head of the President’s Office, resumed his legal practice on January 23, 2026, after leaving that post. Additionally, on April 7, 2026, he registered a non-governmental organization called the 'International Human Rights Organization 'Justice for Ukraine'' and established a private enterprise focused on legal services on May 29, 2026. Yermak also chairs the committee for protecting victims of armed aggression under the National Association of Lawyers.

At the same time, Yermak is under suspicion from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in a case involving the alleged laundering of 460 million hryvnias. Investigators link this case to the construction of the upscale 'Dynasty' cottage community in the village of Kozyn, Kyiv region, as well as potential corruption schemes connected to the state nuclear energy company 'Energoatom.'

The establishment of the Edvox law partnership by Yermak and Hrushko may signal their intent to remain active in the legal field after their tenure in public service.

However, the cloud of corruption allegations and money-laundering suspicions surrounding Yermak underscores the reputational risks facing the new firm, which could affect its credibility and trust among potential clients.
