Litigation

Contact Us
Foreign-owned companies often face business-related disputes in Ukraine, including conflicts with the Ukrainian authorities. That is why conflict resolution has always played an integral role in our legal practice.

Frishberg & Partners litigation and arbitration team is composed of top-tier, seasoned advocates with years of experience practicing in Ukrainian courts of all levels, led by Oleg Bondarchuk. His 25-year experience in courtrooms and different branches of the government, and pragmatic approach, is the reason for our clients’ success.

In handling business disputes, we believe that negotiated settlements can be an efficient and cost-effective alternative to protracted litigation. Whenever possible, we try to settle any conflict in a pre-trial setting by participating in negotiations to find an amicable solution.

If our efforts prove to be unsuccessful, we rely on our litigation team’s experience in a variety of business-related disputes. We also interface with all state authorities (intellectual property, product liability, antitrust, tax).
