Olena Shyrokova — the first Ukrainian registered with the DIFC Courts, authorized to prepare wills in Dubai

For the first time in history, a Ukrainian citizen has been officially authorized to draft wills in Dubai. Olena Shyrokova, partner at the law firm WINNER and founder of Olena Legal&Biznes Consulting in UAE, has achieved this status.
🇦🇪 Olena Shyrokova is the first Ukrainian listed in the official register of authorized practitioners of the DIFC Courts, empowered to prepare wills under the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) jurisdiction.

Why this matters:

• The will is drafted under the principles of English common law — ensuring international recognition and avoiding application of Sharia-based inheritance rules.
• Olena ensures speed, transparency, and full legal support — all available online with no bureaucratic delays.
• This allows Ukrainians and their families to confidently plan asset transfers in the UAE, free from legal risks or misunderstandings.

What adds significance:  
This achievement is not just a personal milestone. As a partner of WINNER in the UAE, Olena enables WINNER to officially and legitimately provide top-tier will preparation services for Ukrainians under the DIFC Courts framework. This greatly expands opportunities for our clients who value reliability and international legal legitimacy.

Conclusion:
Having such a partner in WINNER’s team is a major step forward for Ukrainian investors in the UAE. Inheritance protection, expert legal support, and full adaptation to DIFC standards confirm that WINNER stands for strategic and future-oriented business development for our clients.
