Asters helps the Commission on Banking Technique of the International Chamber of Commerce Asters advised the ICC Commission on Banking Technique and Practice in its work on translation of the Uniform Rules on Demand Guarantees (URDG 758), one of the most important documents governing settlements in international trade.

Asters supports the work of the Expert Council on Corporate Governance at the State Commission for Securities and Stock Market In the first half of 2010 the State Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine approved a number of clarifications of the Joint-Stock Companies Law. The clarifications seek to iron out some drawbacks and inconsistencies in the new Law by explaining how certain key norms can be applied in practice. The business-friendly position of the Commission which underlies the clarifications was formed under the influence and with the assistance of the Expert Council for Corporate Governance. Asters partner Vadym Samoilenko and associate Oles Kvyat took active part in the Council's work on draft Clarifications. All joint-stock companies (the "JSCs"), both public and private, stand to benefit from these efforts to rationalize and simplify Ukrainian corporate law in which Asters takes active part.
