Overview

Matters in the sphere of restructuring and non-performing loans (NPL) require not only a thorough theoretical knowledge of legislation, but also a considerable amount of practical experience. GOLAW’s attorneys represent the interests of Ukrainian and foreign financial institutions such as private and public insurance companies and international banks in providing financing, debt restructuring and resolving disputes with unconscientious debtors.

Our firm’s lawyers have substantial experience dealing with issues such as the legal audit of borrowers and their assets, preparation of collateral contracts (mortgage, pledge), development of legal and GR-strategy of protection of financial institution’s rights against fraudulent actions of debtors, foreclosure of the pledged (mortgaged) property, including through court proceedings. 

GOLAW represented the interests of a state-owned Czech bank as a scheduled creditor during the debtor’s bankruptcy proceedings in Ukraine, and accompanied the enforcement of the foreclosure on the pledged integral property complex. In addition, the firm advised a foreign holding company on the restructuring of non-performing liabilities in order to optimize the activity of the company. The main advantage of GOLAW is the existence of a restructuring strategy on the one hand, and the ability to adapt well-tested legal protection instruments for the individual needs of each client, on the other.

Marshal Victory provides technical due diligence for the comprehensive analysis of movable and immovable property aimed at assessing the technical condition of a facility and the potential risk for an investor or an owner. Marshal Victory is a part of GOLAW group of companies.

Testimonials

Galina Kočendova

Deputy Director at Claims Settlement and Debt Recovery Department
Export Guarantee and Insurance Corporation (EGAP)

EGAP as a credit insurance corporation insuring credits connected with exports of goods and services from the Czech Republic against political and commercial risks has been co-operating with GOLAW for many years. Starting from the year of 2015 we have been co-operating very intensely. We really appreciate their progressive approach to solving complex legal issues of claims recovery in Ukraine. We have profited from GOLAW’s attorneys ability to select and follow a winning strategy and from their business oriented approach. As a result of this approach our insured bank foreclosed upon an asset that has been nearly lost due to unlawful action of the debtor and is close to substantial recovery.
