Proceedings covered by the press, and materials of the High Council of Justice.

When a case draws attention, the story gets told without us — or with us. We choose the second, where that serves the client. Below are the publications and official materials in cases run by the firm.

Court hearing in a fatal road accident case: the client in the courtroom
Case

Fatal road accident on the M-03 highway: the Finnish volunteer case

The first sentence — six years — was quashed on appeal; after a fresh trial the term was cut to four years and part of the civil claims dismissed.

Defence: Mykhailo Tarasenko·7 publications

A Finnish national who had been delivering humanitarian aid to the military since 2022 was charged under Article 286(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The first sentence — six years — was quashed on appeal; after a fresh trial the term was cut to four years and part of the civil claims dismissed. The case was covered by Ukrainian and Finnish media alike.

Case

A road altercation in Poltava: charges against an e-scooter rider

The defence maintains that the client did not start the confrontation and is pressing for both sets of proceedings — over the injuries suffered by each side — to go to court.

Case

Funds of the state vocational training programme

The indictment has been sent to court. The case has only just entered the trial stage — none of the circumstances has yet been tested by a court.

Defence: advocates of the firm·1 publication

Charges against the former head of an educational institution in the Poltava region under Articles 191(5), 27(3), 362(3) and 366(1) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, concerning the use of funds paid under vouchers for driver training. Prosecutors have sent the indictment to court; the case has only just entered the trial stage. An indictment is not a verdict, and none of the circumstances set out in it has yet been tested by a court.

Investigative actions in proceedings under Article 368(3) of the Criminal Code
Case

Notices of suspicion served on doctors in a fictitious disability case

The pre-trial investigation stage. The decisive questions right now are the limits of the suspicion itself and the preventive measure.

Defence: advocates of the firm·1 publication

A pre-trial investigation under Articles 368(3), 369-2(3) and 27(5) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. We act for a doctor at the regional hospital. At this stage two questions decide everything — the limits of the suspicion itself and the preventive measure: the court chose detention with bail set as an alternative. A notice of suspicion is not proven guilt, and the investigation is still under way.
