Ukraine’s strategic location at the crossroads of European, Russian and Asian markets offers tremendous potential and opportunities in a broad range of sectors. Many UK companies are already doing business successfully in Ukraine. The UK is the sixth largest investor in Ukraine with over 150 well-established UK companies, and many more brands present.

As trade between the United Kingdom and Ukraine continues to grow so does the importance of understanding various recurring issues that arise in cross-border transactions and the most effective ways of addressing them (both at the stage a transaction takes place and if a dispute arises in connection with the transaction).

The forum will bring together Ukrainian and UK legal practitioners and business representatives to promote legal links and business between practitioners from both jurisdictions.

A team of leading English and Ukraine practitioners will discuss these topics.

• Private wealth – latest update
• The use of English law on joint ventures and as the governing law for shareholder agreements
• Dispute resolution – International arbitration
• Recovering assets through bankruptcy and liquidation

The conference is aimed at representatives from leading companies, law firms and organisations from both the UK, Ukraine and Central Asia. The working language for this event is English.

The conference will be followed by a networking reception
