Asters, General Partner of the UBA, has expanded its business protection expertise with the introduction of Forensic practice. The practice focuses on fraud detection, economic crime investigation, and developing protective measures against financial, operational, and reputational risks. Its lawyers provide comprehensive analysis of the companies' activities to support decision-making for business owners, investors, and senior management. When the project requires, Asters can bring in specialized legal expertise and international experts through its extensive network of partner law firms.

The Forensic practice is headed by Counsel Sviatoslav Ogreba, who brings over a decade of experience in forensic investigations and corporate intelligence. He is a Cryptocurrency Tracing Certified Examiner (CTCE) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), which allow him to investigate potential illegal activities within banking institutions and corporations.

"The ongoing war in Ukraine has created unprecedented challenges for local businesses," notes Sviatoslav Ogreba. "Office destruction, persistent cyberattacks, military mobilization, and widespread business migration — these conditions have created opportunities for fraudsters while making investigations more complex. We have launched Forensic practice in response to growing demand for sophisticated business protection services, offering our clients expert guidance and practical solutions for risk mitigation and decision-making".
