International transactions and disputes resolution (English law)
TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE
We offer our Clients English law as the most complete system of rules of law due to the following factors:
English law has been traditionally chosen as the applicable law in international transactions relating to both: use of Ukrainian assets as well as disposal of foreign assets;
English law is a time-tested set of laws and transparent practice of adjudication and enforcement by the courts;
Flexibility of English law in structuring of complex transactions in which the parties are located in many jurisdictions (e.g, M&A, private equity, shareholder agreements, structuring of relations between the parties at the stage after the acquisition of assets, investment contracts, etc.);
Uniqueness of many of the concepts and principles of English law, the high level of detail of their design, including: the concept of warranties, representations, indemnities in the agreements relating to the sale of assets, etc.;
An extensive law enforcement practice. Principles, approaches and concepts of English law are inherent to number of other legal systems based on “common law” - the United States, Canada, Australia, Cyprus, BVI, etc., leading to a choice of either local law or English law in transactions with the involvement of one or more of abovementioned jurisdictions.
The aforesaid factors are important not only at the stage of constructing the parties' commercial relationship (corporate relations, mergers and acquisitions, investment and various business transactions), but in the future, in case of claims and disputes.
