Legal Advice on Legal Matters, Documents and Applicable Law

Oral and Written Legal Advice for Individuals and Businesses

Get professional legal guidance on legislation, documents, contracts, property, family and inheritance matters, business issues, and cross-border legal matters.

Consultations are available remotely or in another agreed format following an initial review of your circumstances.

Matters We Can Advise On

The scope of each consultation depends on the client's specific circumstances and objectives. It may involve a particular question of law, a review of documents, or a comprehensive assessment of the situation.

Clients most commonly seek advice on contracts and other legal documents, real estate and property matters, inheritance, family law, debt recovery, and the performance or enforcement of contractual obligations.

We also advise on legal issues arising in the course of business activities and dealings with government authorities.

A separate area of our work concerns the preparation, processing, and use of documents, including documents issued abroad.

Countries and jurisdictions in which we provide legal advice:

Where a matter has an international element, we consider relevant private international law issues and the application of the laws of different countries in light of the specific circumstances.

It may also be appropriate to seek legal advice when you need to understand statutory or regulatory requirements, determine the correct procedure for preparing documents, review contractual terms, identify existing restrictions, or establish what steps should be taken in a particular situation.

If a matter goes beyond general legal guidance and requires separate legal representation or ongoing support, the appropriate scope of further work can be determined after an initial review.

Types of Legal Consultation

Legal advice is available in oral or written form. The appropriate format is selected according to the complexity of the matter, the volume of documentation, and the outcome the client needs to achieve.

Oral Legal Consultation

An oral consultation is suitable when you need clarification on a specific legal issue, wish to discuss the contents of documents, need to understand applicable legal requirements, or want to determine the appropriate next steps.

Documents and a brief description of the circumstances may be provided before the consultation. This allows us to identify in advance the issues requiring closer consideration.

Written Legal Advice

A written consultation is appropriate where a structured analysis of the matter is required, including an explanation of the relevant legal provisions and possible courses of action.

Depending on the nature of the matter, written advice may include a review of documents, an assessment of legal consequences, identification of potential risks, and recommendations.

Where a complex issue requires separate and more extensive legal research, a written legal opinion may be prepared.

Legal Review and Analysis of Documents

Before signing a contract, agreement, power of attorney, or another legally significant document, it is important to understand not only the meaning of individual provisions but also the consequences of the obligations being undertaken.

For legal review, clients may provide contracts and supplementary agreements, powers of attorney, formal claims, notices, corporate documents, and correspondence between the parties. We can also review decisions, certificates, and other documents issued by government authorities, as well as materials relating to real estate and other property.

Where a matter is international in nature, documents issued by foreign authorities and organisations may also be submitted for review. Where necessary, other materials relevant to the legal assessment of the particular circumstances can also be examined.

The review considers material terms, the rights and obligations of the parties, potential restrictions, and possible legal consequences.

Following the review, the client receives an explanation of the documents and the issues that should be considered before making a decision or taking a legally significant action.

Advice on Applicable Law and Legal Circumstances

Legal advice may be necessary when it is important to establish which laws and regulations apply to a particular situation and which requirements must be taken into account before proceeding.

The assessment takes into consideration the relevant facts, the contents of the documents, the legal status of the parties, and other circumstances that may have legal significance.

Where the matter involves several countries, the applicable law and relevant jurisdiction are considered separately in relation to the particular issue.

International and Cross-Border Legal Matters

A separate area of our practice covers matters involving individuals, companies, documents, or institutions in different countries.

These matters may concern the use of foreign documents, inheritance and property abroad, family matters with an international element, international agreements, company activities, obtaining documents, and other cross-border issues.

Where necessary, local partners and representatives in the relevant country may be involved.

Foreign Documents

Specific legal and procedural issues can arise when documents need to be obtained or used outside the country in which they were issued.

We provide advice on procedures for obtaining documents from government authorities and archives, requirements for an apostille or consular legalisation, and the translation and preparation of documents for subsequent use in another country.

The appropriate procedure is determined by the country in which the document was issued, the type of document, and the country where it will be presented.

How a Legal Consultation Works

The first step is to provide a brief description of the matter and, where relevant to its assessment, copies of the available documents.

Following an initial review, we determine the subject of the consultation, the scope of analysis required, and the most appropriate format.

Consultations can be conducted by telephone, WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or another agreed method of communication.

If written advice is required, the questions to be addressed and the materials to be reviewed are identified in advance.

After reviewing the matter, the client receives legal explanations and recommendations relevant to the issue presented. Where necessary, the preparation of documents, a written legal opinion, or other legal assistance can be arranged separately.

Who Can Request Legal Advice

Legal consultations are available to private individuals, entrepreneurs, companies, and international clients.

The scope of advice is determined by the nature of the issue, the applicable law, and the level of legal analysis required.

Private Individuals

Private clients may seek advice on real estate and other property, criminal defence, inheritance, family matters, debts, contracts, document preparation, and dealings with government authorities.

During the consultation, we can determine the legal significance of the available documents, explain applicable formal requirements, identify potential risks, and outline the appropriate next steps.

If the matter involves a dispute, court proceedings, or a need for legal representation, the scope of any further legal assistance can be established following the initial assessment.

Businesses and Corporate Clients

Entrepreneurs and companies may obtain advice on contracts, relationships with counterparties, corporate documentation, debt recovery, property, and other legal matters arising in the course of business.

Legal analysis may be required before entering into a contract or transaction or making a decision that creates obligations for the company.

For businesses operating internationally, we also consider matters involving foreign counterparties, cross-border transactions, and the application of the laws of different jurisdictions.

International Clients

Foreign nationals and companies may seek advice on matters connected with Ukraine and other countries in which we operate directly or through partners in the relevant jurisdiction.

Consultations may cover documents, property, inheritance, family and contractual matters, debts, company activities, and other issues involving an international element.

Legal advice can be obtained remotely. Documents and a description of the circumstances may be submitted electronically in advance.

What the Client Receives After a Consultation

The outcome depends on the issue presented and the consultation format selected.

After the matter has been reviewed, the client receives an explanation of the applicable legal requirements, the results of the document review, and information about the potential legal consequences of the decisions under consideration.

Where appropriate, we identify relevant restrictions and risks, the documents that may be required, procedures for dealing with government authorities and other institutions, and the next steps appropriate to the particular circumstances.

If resolving the matter requires additional legal work, its scope is determined separately.

Cost of a Legal Consultation

The fee is determined after an initial review of the matter.

The cost takes into account the complexity of the circumstances, the number and volume of documents, the need to examine additional materials, whether advice is required orally or in writing, the urgency of the matter, and whether it involves an international or cross-border element.

For an initial fee estimate, it is sufficient to provide a brief description of the issue and the available documents.

If the matter requires analysis of the laws of several jurisdictions, review of a substantial volume of materials, or a separate written legal opinion, the fee for that work is agreed in advance.
