Why PROCTOR
Logistics is a chain of contracts in which responsibility for the cargo passes between dozens of participants, and it is the lawyer who determines who pays for a loss. PROCTOR conducts claims and litigation over international carriage, supports concession projects in ports and tariff disputes with state monopolies.
We know the specifics of every mode of transport, from bills of lading to the placement and removal of wagons, and build the defence at the level of the client's entire logistics chain.

Practices for the industry
The teams of PROCTOR that run matters in this sector.
Competition law and government relations (GR)A practice for companies whose main risk comes from the state as regulator: merger clearances and investigations by the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, support during inspections and defence against administrative pressure, and, as a premium layer on top, influence over the rules of the game through lawmaking and advocacy.
Corporate law and M&AThe flagship transactional practice: the legal foundation for owning, running and selling a business. It covers M&A deals, corporate structuring and the protection of owners' interests, together with adjacent areas - employment relations with staff and senior management, and the personal wealth matters of business owners (private clients).
Customs law and international tradeA single product for importers and exporters: from structuring the foreign trade contract to defence against adjustments of the customs value. One client context - goods crossing the border.
Dispute resolution and enforcementThe full cycle of protecting a client's interests in a dispute: national courts of every jurisdiction and instance, international commercial and investment arbitration and, above all, turning a judgment won into money actually recovered.
Real estate, construction and landA practice built around the main tangible asset of a business: commercial real estate deals, construction permitting, development projects and the full range of land matters - from the agricultural land market to the land banks of agricultural companies.
