About Us

We don’t just advise. We build your security perimeter.

SENSE Consulting & Commoda Lex is more than a law firm. It is an integrated system for protecting capital. In a world where one mistake in a tax return can lead to a criminal case, and a gap in a contract can lead to the loss of assets, law and finance cannot be separated.

We have combined these two elements. Our lawyers build a defense strategy. Our accountants ensure its financial integrity. You do not receive “consultation”, but a ready-made engineering solution for your business and personal freedom.

34+ years of experience. 25+ years of systematic work of the SENSE brand.

The Evolution of SENSE. From digital order to legal protection

Our story began in 1991. At a time when Ukrainian business was just learning to play by the rules, we chose the path of systematicity. SENSE began not with loud court speeches, but with accuracy – we created unique software for accounting automation.

We taught business to count. But we quickly realized: just counting is not enough. Assets must be protected. This became a bifurcation point. We combined the cold logic of financial auditing with aggressive tactics of legal protection. Thus was born the modern SENSE model.

In 1999, SENSE Consulting was created, and in 2021, Commoda Lex. We have gone from IT solutions to architects of your security.

War-Hardened Leadership

For SENSE founder Leonid Maslov, the war did not start with the news in February 2022. He stood up for the country’s defense back in 2014. And with the start of the full-scale invasion, he returned to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine without hesitation, changing the status of managing partner to a combat position.

This experience of two campaigns transformed the DNA of the company. We know what loyalty to the oath, discipline and work in conditions of extreme risk mean. Today, these principles are the basis of SENSE’s work. We protect the interests of Clients with the same uncompromising and dedication with which we protected the state.

SENSE values

1. Peace.
   In a world of total digitalization, we remain fans of privacy. Client information is our most valuable asset, which we protect at the level of banking secrecy. Your cases will never become public without your express consent.
   
   
2. Honesty and efficiency.
   We do not make empty promises for the sake of a contract. Our principle is an honest assessment of prospects. If the case is profitable, we will develop the best strategy. If the case is unpromising, we will tell you about it at the first meeting, saving you time and money. We don’t sell “process for process’s sake.”
   
   
3. A game of anticipation.
   A traditional lawyer puts out fires. SENSE builds fireproof walls. Our philosophy is to predict risk a year before it becomes a reality. We create a business architecture that is unprofitable to attack.
   
   
4. Selectivity.
   The reputation of our Clients depends on who stands next to them in our portfolio. That is why SENSE conducts thorough compliance (KYC) before starting cooperation. We reserve the right to refuse if the goals of a potential client contradict our ethical standards or may damage the reputation of the firm. But if we shake hands – we are with you until the end.

Kyiv – Kharkiv. Two outposts – one system!

We are where protection is needed. Our geography defines our character.

KYIV | The center of decision-making. The heart of the country’s business and political life. Here we interact with the Supreme Court, central government bodies and international investors. The office in the capital is our strategic headquarters.

KHARKIV | The City of Reinforced Concrete People. We did not leave Kharkiv, because SENSE does not retreat. This city changed the concept of sustainability, and we adopted its DNA. Working here is a challenge that we accept every day. If your business is on the defensive in the East, know that your legal rear is covered by people who understand the price of security.

We combine the capital’s strategy with the reinforced concrete resilience of the East to protect your business across the country.
