Nothing is impossible — the impossible just takes more time.
Serhiy Lukashevych is an attorney at Shkrebets & Partners, holding a PhD in Law and the academic title of Professor. He combines legal practice with academic and expert work at the intersection of law and technology — areas where an effective decision requires both legal precision and technical depth. His core specialization is information law, cybersecurity, and information protection.
Serhiy works on matters that rarely have ready-made templates. Practice at the intersection of law and technology often means building a legal position from scratch — relying on current regulations, technical expertise, and a solid academic foundation.
Education and Academic Degrees
Serhiy received his legal education at the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University — at the time of his graduation in 1996, the institution was named Yaroslav Mudryi National University "Law Academy of Ukraine". Six years later, he defended his dissertation and obtained a PhD in Law, and in 2025 was awarded the academic title of Professor.
A distinctive detail rarely seen in attorneys' profiles — Serhiy holds the rank of Reserve Junior Lieutenant in the military specialty of Psychology.

A separate area of responsibility is the Regional Training Center for Information Technology, Cybersecurity, and Information Protection at the university. Serhiy coordinates its work, combining the educational function with the applied task of training specialists in a field that has become critical to the country.

In addition, Serhiy is a member of the working groups developing professional standards in information technology, cybersecurity, and information protection — effectively shaping which competencies will be enshrined as mandatory for these professions in Ukraine's legal framework.

Serhiy is a member of key professional associations in Ukraine's legal and cybersecurity sectors:
- Union of Lawyers of Ukraine.
- Expert Council on Information and Cybersecurity of Ukraine — established by joint decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine.
Publications
Serhiy is the author and co-author of approximately 150 publications — academic, educational-methodological, and reference. His works appear in professional publications in Ukraine and abroad, spanning the spectrum from theoretical articles in specialized journals to textbooks and reference materials used in legal practice.
Approach to Work
The credo "nothing is impossible — the impossible just takes more time" is not a rhetorical figure but a working principle. Information law and cybersecurity change faster than established legal practice can respond, and a position in such cases is often formulated for the first time — at the intersection of regulation, technology, and the specific context. That makes time the key resource: enough to work through the facts, test assumptions, and build a legal position that will withstand opposition.
