The Ukrainian Bar Association invites you to a Formal Reception dedicated to the Opening of the Year of Law 2025 and the celebration of Lawyer's Day, a professional holiday for servants of law, justice and fairness.

Date: 8 October 2025 (Wednesday).

Time: 13:00 – 15:00 (registration from 12:30).  

Venue: Kyiv (for security reasons, all registered participants will be notified separately).

During the reception, the Ukrainian Bar Association's Honorary Award ‘For Honour and Professional Dignity’ — the Association's highest moral award — will be presented. It is given to those who embody ethical purity, professional integrity and deep dedication to the legal profession. It is awarded only once a year to a person who has truly become an example for generations. 

We will also honour young lawyers, winners of the UBA Best Young Lawyer Award — the future of the legal profession, which is already shaping new legal horizons today and actively participates in the development of the rule of law.
