Kyiv

Our Ukrainian office specialises in international commercial disputes in the field of soft commodities (grains and oils). Our work in this field has been ranked by Legal500 since 2021 and in 2023 we received recognition as a top-10 international law firm in Ukraine by the Ukrainian Law Firms journal.

We have an extensive track-record in Gafta and FOSFA arbitrations, as well as LCIA, LMAA and ad-hoc arbitrations. We are Gafta members, conduct seminars on the Gafta platform and contribute articles to industry journals such as GaftaWorld.

Danil Hristich, the head of our Ukrainian office, is dual qualified Ukrainian attorney and solicitor in England and Wales. In coordination with our London office, he regularly represents clients in the Commercial Court in London in relation to interim measures in support of Gafta, FOSFA and other arbitrations (worldwide freezing injunctions, enforcement measures and others).  

We have a vast network of connections in Ukraine among criminal, tax and other litigation counsel to manage disputes of any level of complexity.  

Apart from high value matters, we can also provide routine support on issues such as establishing business in Ukraine, opening bank accounts, arranging accounting and other business support, advising on various matters of Ukrainian law.
