/ Your lawyer /

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.

How can I protect my business from a raider takeover?

The most effective protection is preventive. We review corporate documents and the ownership structure, identify weak points and set up monitoring of changes in the Unified State Register and the State Register of Real Property Rights, so that any unauthorised registration action can be addressed promptly.

What should I do if the company’s director or shareholders were changed in the register unlawfully?

Act as quickly as possible. We challenge unlawful registration actions through administrative and court procedures, seek restoration of corporate and property rights and, where there are grounds, prepare criminal complaints concerning the business takeover.

Why do I need a lawyer during a search?

A lawyer oversees the lawfulness of investigators’ and officers’ actions, records violations in the search report and helps prevent seizure of property or documents beyond what the court ruling permits. Afterwards, we seek the return of temporarily seized property, documents and equipment and the lifting of seizures on property and bank accounts.

Do you defend company directors in criminal proceedings?

Yes. We defend directors and officers in criminal proceedings, take part in interrogations and other procedural actions, and appeal decisions, actions or inaction of investigators and prosecutors. Economic and tax crime cases are a separate area of our practice.

What can I do if competitors copy my products or spread false information?

Such actions may amount to unfair competition. We prepare complaints to the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, represent clients in AMCU cases and in court, and handle disputes over unlawful use of designations, the spread of false information and discrediting of a business.

Do you help with trademark registration and protection?

Yes. We handle trademark registration in Ukraine, protect owners’ rights in case of infringement, help protect trade secrets and handle disputes over other intellectual property.

What is a legal services retainer?

It is ongoing legal support for your business: review of contracts and legal risks, pre-trial claims and advice on day-to-day matters. This format makes it possible to resolve issues before they turn into disputes.

What will I get from a consultation?

During 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 issue and recommendations on what you can do yourself, without unnecessary expense.
