Support in Obtaining Critical Enterprise Status and Employee Reservation

Under martial law, every business faces mobilisation challenges: letters from territorial recruitment and social support centres (TRC) demanding lists of persons liable for military service, military registration documentation issues, employees receiving call-up notices. The key tool for preserving the workforce is the status of a critically important enterprise, which makes it possible to reserve employees.

The core work of GOLAW lawyers is focused on the stage of obtaining critically important enterprise status: we analyse compliance with the criteria, prepare and file documents and support the recognition procedure. Once the status is obtained, the company reserves employees independently through the Diia application — at this stage we provide advice, in particular on issues of violations of military registration rules by individual employees who need to be reserved.

We also advise on all aspects of military registration and mobilisation, provide recommendations on actions in various situations and help minimise the risks of violating mobilisation legislation.
