Arbitration and dispute resolution services are a very good way to reduce costs; if a dispute can be resolved without going to court it will save all parties a lot of time too.

Here in Ukraine the business culture is more aggressive than, say, the USA or Great Britain – and body and facial characteristics are much different when negotiating. In circumstances like these it really does require cultural and legal skills as well as in-depth local knowledge to deliver truly effective arbitration and dispute resolution.

Naturally we have seasoned professionals to effect arbitration and international dispute resolution on a client’s behalf; the Partners and Counsels working in this part of our practice have enviable track records of successful results.

When working in Ukraine the inexperienced will find this whole area of judicial bureaucracy is fraught with complication. Additionally, opposing counsel will naturally try to use this to slow mediation and pre-dispute settlement and in particular to delay the enforcement and execution of court decisions.

For example, Ukrainian courts require personal attendance for the most minor servings and process - sending documents by post is not usually acceptable. So to ensure the process is as effective as possible it is an integral part of the service that one of our experienced professionals will represent the client at each and every stage of the arbitration dispute resolution process.

Many clients are faced with extremely complicated and controversial business situations and working through these, using dispute resolution and arbitration skills, is acknowledged to be less costly and faster than going into court.

Our unique combination of in-depth and extensive practical experience gained in our work with the domestic court system and with international tribunals and legislation bodies means our litigators have a better chance than most to create innovative solutions to overcome the most intractable disputes.

Our recent experience bears witness to how our skills and experience in dispute resolution has solved very complex business disputes.

For example, we advised on the improper privatization of OJSC Kryvorizhstal, Ukraine’s major steel works, and OJSC Nikopol Ferroalloy Works, one of the world’s major ferroalloys companies.

We recently represented the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in a dispute with a Russian media company on the rebuttal of misleading information.

Furthermore providing counsel to the owner of Studio 1+1, a leading Ukrainian media company,  about protecting ownership title of equity share in the company proved invaluable.

We also represented Eugene LLC before the Ukrainian court in the dispute with the Government of Ukraine, Football Federation of Ukraine, and Kyiv City Council on the demolition of the LLC Eugene’s real estate property worth an approximate US$300 million.
