Law Firm in Ukraine, Kyiv
Disputes is a full-service law firm in Ukraine, based in Kyiv and operating since 2015.
We work under a general practice model, covering a wide spectrum of legal areas — judicial and alternative dispute resolution, business consulting, immigration matters, family and civil cases, corporate governance, document procurement, and enforcement of court decisions. This breadth allows us to carry a client's matter from the first consultation through to the recovery stage, without referring it elsewhere at every turn.
A significant part of our practice involves foreign clients who need legal services in Ukraine while living abroad — in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel, and the Gulf states. Our Ukrainian lawyers correspond and prepare documents in English, explain each procedural step, and file and appear in Ukrainian before the courts and state authorities. Working with an English-speaking lawyer means the client understands what is happening in their case at every stage. Most matters are handled remotely, on the basis of an attorney-client agreement or, in some cases, a power of attorney.
Since its inception, attorney Dmytro Chuguienko has served as the managing partner of the firm.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Yes. All our lawyers and personnel speak English fluently, so you can work with us without a translator at every stage of your case.
Yes. Most of our work is done remotely — by video call, email and messengers. We act on your behalf on the basis of an attorney engagement agreement and, in certain cases, a power of attorney; both are signed and sent to Ukraine in original. On this basis, we represent your interests without your presence, whether it's a civil, criminal or commercial case, or obtaining documents from the civil registry office (RACS).
Yes. We regularly represent clients from the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Japan, China and Australia, among other countries.
Usually within 1–2 business days. In urgent cases we can often arrange a consultation the same day.
No. We're not. We are not another mediocre law firm competing on price alone. We acknowledge that we don't offer the lowest prices in the market, and here are 6 reasons why our fees are higher than some other law firms.
1. Boutique Law Firm Where Managing Partner Handles Your Case Personally
We are intentionally a small company with limited capacity to handle cases. This isn't a weakness - it's our greatest strength. Our limited capacity ensures that every case receives the intensive attention and resources it deserves.
We are a boutique law firm where every team member, including the managing partner and founder - Dmytro Chuguienko, is directly involved in executing client work and tasks. Each staff member bears personal responsibility to clients from initial communication through completion of collaboration.
You're not just another case number - you receive direct attention from experienced professionals who take ownership of your outcomes. We have deliberately chosen quality over quantity because we understand that excellent legal representation requires focus, time, and personal investment.
Every single team member - including our managing partner and founder is directly involved in your case. We don't delegate your critical legal matters to inexperienced staff.
2. Proactive Communication & Support
We maintain constant communication with our clients, providing all key case updates through messengers and email. We explain in detail the work we will perform, the expected outcomes, and provide moral support throughout the process.
New clients can expect responses within 30 minutes in most cases, while existing clients typically receive answers to their questions within the same day.
3. We Refuse to Accept Failure
We hate losing more than anything. This means we invest extraordinary amounts of time and resources to find the winning solution for every client. We research every legal precedent, explore every possible angle, and exhaust every available option before accepting any outcome.
Our commitment to winning requires extensive case preparation and this level of preparation demands significantly more resources than simply doing "our job".
4. True Bilingual Expertise
We truly speak English, not just translate. Our managing partner holds C2-level English certification with daily practice to maintain fluency and can understand various English accents including Indian, Nigerian, German, British, and American.
For complex cases, the managing partner personally conducts video meetings with clients to ensure clear communication and understanding. Our entire team maintains minimum B1 English proficiency, enabling direct communication through messengers and timely case updates without language barriers.
5. Cutting-Edge Tech Investment
We invest heavily in modern technology to deliver legal services at the highest level. Our tech stack includes Pipedrive CRM for client management, Google Drive for secure document storage, Zapier and Pabbly for automation, Timelines AI and Claude AI for enhanced efficiency, Finmap for financial management, and Zakon Online for legal research.
We utilize electronic court systems and participate in video conference hearings, eliminating travel costs and enabling us to represent clients throughout all of Ukraine efficiently. This technological advantage allows us to reduce expenses while maintaining presence in courts nationwide.
Our continuous investment in cutting-edge technology ensures we provide seamless document management, secure file sharing, and streamlined case tracking - all contributing to faster, more efficient legal representation at the highest professional standard.
6. Crisis-Tested Reliability
We have successfully operated through pandemic lockdowns, wartime conditions, power outages, and missile attacks. Our commitment to client service remains unwavering regardless of external circumstances. When crisis strikes, we continue delivering results while maintaining full communication and professional standards.
