Debts and Enforcement Proceedings
Debt disputes and insolvency are among the most common legal problems for both individuals and businesses. Some people wait months to recover loaned money; others face enforcement pressure with frozen bank accounts; and companies on the brink of shutdown lack a practical way to save the business or exit in an orderly manner.
I assist at every stage—from sending a claim to the debtor through full bankruptcy proceedings. For creditors: debt recovery, securing claims, and ensuring court judgments are enforced. For debtors: protection against unlawful enforcement actions, reduction of excessive penalties, and debt restructuring negotiations. For companies: preventive restructuring, rehabilitation, or liquidation procedures.
The legal framework includes: the Civil Code of Ukraine (Art. 625—inflation losses and 3% per annum; Art. 1046–1056—loan agreements), the Law on Enforcement Proceedings No. 1404-VIII, and the Bankruptcy Code of Ukraine No. 2597-VIII—as amended by Law No. 3985-IX of 19.09.2024, which from 1 January 2025 introduced Book Three, "Preventive Restructuring," implementing EU Directive 2019/1023. Current Supreme Court practice applies.
