Your case is handled personally by lawyer Ivan Ablov

You speak directly to the lawyer who handles your case. No managers and no passing the case between specialists: one lawyer is responsible for it from the first call to the court decision.

Two master’s degrees: law and finance. The second is from the University of the State Fiscal Service, so the lawyer sees tax audits and disputes with the tax service from both the legal and the financial side.

Nothern ManOctober 2026

Зазвичай, я коментарі не пишу, але тут просто не можу промовчати! Хочу від щирого серця подякувати команді адвокатів за їх неймовірне терпіння, витримку і справжній професіоналізм. Для мене було рятуванням, що все вдалося вирішити повністю дистанційно. Якщо чесно, сам я в успіх майже не вірив і йшов у процес швидше за інерцією. Але хлопці унеможливили — ми виграли, і суд прийняв рішення на мою користь! Дякую! Окрема подяка Івану Євгеновичу,бажаю Вам міцного здоров’я і процвітання.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions clients ask most often

Didn't find your answer? Describe your situation — a lawyer will reply by phone or messenger, 24/7.

What kinds of commercial disputes do you handle?

We handle contract disputes, debt recovery and damages claims, corporate disputes, bankruptcy cases and disputes over the enforcement of court decisions. We represent companies and sole proprietors in Ukrainian commercial courts of first instance, appeal and cassation.

Do I have to send a claim letter before going to court?

As a general rule, pre-trial settlement is not mandatory in Ukraine, but in certain cases it is required by law or by the contract. Even where it is optional, a claim letter often secures payment without litigation or puts the parties’ positions on record. We assess whether a claim letter makes sense in your case, draft it and respond to claims from counterparties.

What can be recovered from a debtor besides the principal debt?

Depending on the contract terms and the circumstances, you may claim penalties, fines, inflation losses and 3% per annum on top of the principal debt, as well as compensation of damages. During the consultation we review the contract and documents and identify which claims have good prospects.

How can I stop a debtor from moving assets during the dispute?

Ukrainian procedural law provides for interim measures to secure a claim, such as an attachment of the defendant’s property or funds. We prepare well-grounded applications, since the court grants them only where the statutory grounds are met.

Do you help resolve conflicts between company members?

Yes. We handle disputes between members, challenges to general meeting resolutions, member withdrawal and payment of the value of the share, and we protect clients against an unlawful change of owner or director. To reduce the risk of such conflicts, we help prepare the charter and shareholder agreement.

My debtor has gone bankrupt — can I still recover the money?

In a bankruptcy case, a creditor must lodge its monetary claims against the debtor within the statutory deadline. We represent creditors under the Code of Ukraine on Bankruptcy Procedures: we lodge claims, take part in the creditors’ meeting and committee, and challenge the debtor’s transactions. We also protect the interests of debtors.

I have a court decision, but it is not being enforced. What should I do?

We support enforcement proceedings with state and private enforcement officers, monitor their actions and, where necessary, challenge their actions or omissions. Our work covers the full cycle — from the claim letter to actual enforcement of the court decision.

What will I get from the consultation?

You receive a legal assessment of your specific situation, a step-by-step action plan, an understanding of the real cost of resolving the matter and advice on which steps you can take yourself, without unnecessary expense.
