Support of agreements between Ukrainian and British companies
An agreement between companies from Ukraine and the United Kingdom is not just a matter of signing a contract, but a complex set of legal, tax and procedural actions that must comply with the norms of two different legal systems. A successful cross-border agreement requires precise structuring, competent formulation of obligations and protection of the parties' interests in an international environment.
Consultant Law Firm supports agreements of any level of complexity between Ukrainian and British companies: from export-import contracts and the provision of services to joint investment projects, partnerships, the purchase of shares in a business or intellectual property agreements. We work taking into account jurisdictional requirements, the commercial logic of the parties and current international practice.
Features of agreements between Ukrainian and British companies
Agreements between Ukrainian and British companies have a number of features that distinguish them from domestic contracts:
- The parties belong to different legal systems (English common law vs. continental civil law).
The agreement must be formulated in a language that is understandable to both parties and is often subject to international conventions (e.g., CISG).
Currency controls, tax aspects, VAT and foreign income taxation issues must be taken into account.
The correct choice of applicable law and jurisdiction is critical for resolving potential disputes.
For this reason, even standard contracts for supply, IT services or consulting need to be adapted to two legal systems and clarify a number of key points: terms, liability, dispute resolution mechanisms.
