Dispute Resolution

When cooperating with clients, KPMG Law Ukraine’s goal is to facilitate effective risk management and, where possible, avoid litigation entirely. However, when litigation is unavoidable KPMG Law Ukraine can effectively represent the business interests of our clients while accurately assessing commercial, legal, and reputational risks. 

KPMG Law Ukraine has an experienced team of attorneys and lawyers who assist clients in resolving disputes on a wide range of issues, including through mediation, participating as representatives in court proceedings, providing expert opinions, and representation in international arbitration. 

We advise our clients on the various advantages and disadvantages of different means of resolving disputes in Ukrainian courts or international arbitration, as well as offering support with tailoring arbitration clauses to the needs of different contracts, parties, and legal systems. 

KPMG Law Ukraine has a significant competitive advantage that sets us aside from our peers: we can draw on a wide range of forensic and valuation specialists from around the world to comprehensively analyse our clients’ problems and successfully resolve disputes using the collective skills of the KPMG global network. 

KPMG Law Ukraine also cooperates with foreign offices and international law firms in international arbitration; where proceedings are conducted in foreign jurisdictions or international arbitration institutions such as the London Court of International Arbitration, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, and the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Institute.
