Martial Law

More about the practice

The introduction of martial law on the territory of Ukraine resulted in changes in all spheres of economic activities. During martial law, the Parliament adopted and continues to adapt many important laws aimed at quick adapting the country’s economy to new realities and ensuring its rapid recovery after the war.

At the same time, every situation that arises in business operations under martial law is individual. 

We approach the resolution of a problem through the prism of the business objectives of our Clients, also taking into account current realities and advising on all possible issues arising under martial law: business relocation, compensation for damages caused by the military aggression of the russian federation, issues of non-fulfillment of contract terms and obligations, force majeure, as well as issues in tax, customs, migration, labour and corporate law.

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.
