VB PARTNERS LAW FIRM

VB PARTNERS is a leading Ukrainian boutique law firm specialising in White-Collar Crime, Dispute Resolution, and Sanctions. For over 20 years, we have been providing effective legal solutions for the most complex disputes, investigations, and high-stakes business conflicts.

Our lawyers represent businesses in their interactions with law enforcement authorities at every stage of criminal proceedings. We provide comprehensive legal defence in matters involving existing or potential criminal liability, helping clients effectively manage legal, regulatory, and reputational risks.

Our corporate investigations not only uncover fraudulent schemes but also generate robust evidentiary foundations for holding wrongdoers accountable. We have extensive experience in extradition and INTERPOL matters, providing effective legal assistance at every stage of cross-border investigations, regardless of jurisdiction.

We also represent public officials, business leaders, and other high-profile individuals before Ukraine's anti-corruption authorities in cases attracting significant public and media attention.

VB PARTNERS is recognised as a market leader in White-Collar Crime, consistently earning top rankings in leading international legal directories, including The Legal 500 EMEA, Chambers Europe, Lexology Index, Benchmark Litigation and others. The firm was named "Law Firm of the Year – Criminal Defense" in Ukraine by Best Lawyers in 2021.

We possess substantial experience representing clients before Ukrainian courts at all levels. Our team also successfully represents clients before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

Our sanctions practice deserves particular recognition. We have unique expertise in challenging sanctions imposed by the President of Ukraine and the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), acting for both foreign companies and individuals. VB PARTNERS was among the first law firms in Ukraine to secure a landmark Supreme Court judgment overturning sanctions imposed on a company incorporated in a European Union Member State. We also obtained the first-ever court decision lifting personal sanctions imposed by the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
