Knowledge Webinar \

The American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine, jointly with Bono Legal and Hausfeld, is glad to invite you to the upcoming Knowledge Webinar "Options For War Damage Redress". The link to the webinar will be sent only to the registered participants.

The proposed webinar will consider three types of claims: institutional and intra-state claims, private claims against Russia and Russian state-associated companies, and insurance claims. It will particularly focus on insurance claims that can be brought against Ukrainian and Western insurers and funded by third-party funders, offering prospects of low-cost and effective recovery strategies.

Questions for discussion:

What types of damage have been suffered and can be recovered?
Types of claims (survey of current claims, discussion of future ones):
- Institutional and intra-state redress mechanisms
- Private claims against Russia and Russian state-associated companies
- Claims against Ukrainian and international insurers
Key legal issues, e.g. sovereign immunity, law and jurisdiction, recoverability
Availability of third-party litigation funding and markets to sell claims
