Sanctions, Investigation & Asset Recovery

Sanctions, Investigation & Asset Recovery

We advise Ukrainian and international clients on legal issues in Ukraine, with a focus on sanctions, investigations, complex disputes, and asset recovery.

A core part of our work is sanctions advisory under Ukrainian law. We help clients assess whether cooperation with counterparties, investors, or corporate groups is permissible, often at an early stage – before transactions or strategic decisions – and explain how sanctions rules apply in practice, what risks may arise, and how those risks can be managed.

We also conduct internal investigations and targeted fact-finding exercises, assisting clients in identifying misconduct, fraud, corruption, and other internal risks. Our investigations are pragmatic and outcome-driven, and frequently inform management decisions, dispute strategy, and asset protection measures.

We represent clients in Ukrainian courts and enforcement proceedings in complex, high-stakes disputes, including asset recovery, corporate and shareholder conflicts, hostile takeovers, and other business-critical litigation. Our experience covers asset tracing, interim measures, and enforcement of foreign court judgments and arbitral awards, with a strong focus on what can realistically be enforced and recovered in Ukraine, and how to structure enforcement strategy.
