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.

At what stage should I involve a lawyer in an investment deal?

Ideally before any documents are signed, including a memorandum or preliminary arrangements. At this stage we help choose the deal structure, review the investment target and build investor protection mechanisms into the agreements. Fixing mistakes after a deal has been concluded is much harder and more expensive.

What does legal due diligence cover?

We review the company’s corporate structure and ultimate beneficial owners, its assets and liabilities, litigation, encumbrances and key contracts. If the deal involves real estate, we verify title to the property and the land plot. You then receive a report on the identified risks and ways to mitigate them.

Why sign a shareholders’ agreement between LLC participants?

The Law of Ukraine “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies” allows participants to enter into a corporate agreement governing how they exercise their rights. Such an agreement can set out voting procedures, terms for selling stakes, options and rules for exiting the company. This reduces the risk of corporate conflicts and gives clear rules in case of disagreement.

Do you work with foreign investors?

Yes. We advise on the legal regime for foreign investment in Ukraine and on National Bank of Ukraine currency regulation requirements when making investments and repatriating funds. We also handle the registration of companies and changes involving non-residents and support investors in dealings with banks and government authorities.

Do I need AMCU clearance to acquire a company?

It depends on the parameters of the deal and the parties involved, in particular their asset values and turnover. We assess whether the transaction falls under the merger control requirements and, where necessary, obtain clearance from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine before closing.

How can I protect myself when investing in construction?

Before the agreement is signed, we vet the developer, the construction permit documentation and the land plot rights, and review the terms of the investment agreement itself. If the developer misses deadlines or breaches the contract, we protect the investor’s interests both pre-trial and in court.

What should I do if a dispute arises with a business partner?

First, we analyse the corporate documents, contracts and the parties’ positions and look for a pre-trial settlement. If no agreement can be reached, we represent your interests in the corporate dispute in commercial courts at all levels.

What will I get from the consultation?

During the consultation you receive a legal assessment of your specific situation, a step-by-step action plan, a clear idea of the real cost of resolving the matter and recommendations on what you can do yourself, without unnecessary expense.
