The UBA International Law Committee invites you to a virtual coffee meeting to discuss: "Contract Holidays? How to Work with Seasonal 'Unavailability' of Counterparties."

Our Committee is a well-established platform for networking among experts from different countries. We invite business representatives and lawyers to join informal online meetings over a cup of coffee to discuss challenges and share solutions in cross-border matters.

In cross-border business, unexpected silence in communication or “vacation” delays can cause disruptions in the supply of goods and services, missed deadlines, penalties, and even disputes.

Over a virtual coffee, we will discuss how to keep business running smoothly despite holidays, vacations, and temporary unavailability of parties:

• How to anticipate seasonal breaks in contracts?
• How to organize work effectively?
• How to protect your interests in correspondence?

Speakers:
Olha Kuchmiienko, Chair of the UBA International Law Committee, Attorney at law, PhD in Law
Viktoriia Ivasechko, Member of the UBA International Law Committee Board, Counsel at Redcliffe Partners

Date: 21 August 2025
Time: 18:00–20:00 (Kyiv time)
Format: Online (Zoom)
Event language: Ukrainian
