One desk. Fifty-plus jurisdictions.
INNOVA is an international group of specialised practices with 14 years of cross-border experience — corporate law, audit, tax, and licensing under one roof.
INNOVA Consulting Group
INNOVA is an international group of specialised companies with 14 years of practice. The group spans corporate law and legal services, audit, marketing, and recruiting, operating across 50+ jurisdictions — from classic onshore markets to offshore and midshore structures.
Boutique by design
We are not a high-volume corporation with first-line account managers. Every client works directly with a managing partner or a senior practice expert. That is not a slogan — it is the operating reality: you always know who runs your file and who to call.
Managing Partner — Maksym Stepanenko
The group is led by Maksym Stepanenko, Managing Partner of INNOVA Consulting Group (legal entity INNOVA CONSULT LTD, Ottawa, Canada). His practice covers international business structuring, banking, and licensing across 50+ jurisdictions, and he operates the Canada desk personally — scoping, banking dialogues, and key regulatory filings go through his desk.
One accountable partner per project
Each project is run by one partner from start to finish — whether the active workstream is formation, banking, tax, or licensing. No account-manager rotation, no "we'll transfer you to another department".
Regulator-grade documentation
Everything we produce is ready for an investor and for a regulator. One standard — for a two-person startup and for a fund with $2B AUM. We do not produce documents that fall apart at the first audit.
Cross-jurisdictional coordination inside the group
International projects are run inside the group. We do not hand banking to one provider, tax to another, and immigration to a third — those seams are where most international structures fail operationally.
Built for the long term
We have worked through regulatory reforms, COVID, and the introduction of UAE corporate tax. Clients come back after 3–5 years to renew their structures — and we are still here, with a 24-hour response SLA on every active project.
