$3 Million Panama–Ukraine Business Transaction Advisory

Lions Lawyers - Panama - Ukraine

Cross-border financing and commercial transactions between Panama and Ukraine require careful structuring, jurisdictional clarity, and precise conflict-of-law analysis. Our firm provides comprehensive legal advisory services to companies operating within this international framework.

We advised on a dispute arising from a cross-border credit agreement between a Panamanian company and a Ukrainian commercial entity. The matter involved issues of jurisdiction, applicable law, limitation periods, and enforcement strategy.

Our analysis confirmed that Ukrainian commercial courts have jurisdiction to hear disputes involving Ukrainian debtors, while the substantive rights and obligations under the credit agreement are governed by the law chosen by the parties — in this case, the law of the Republic of Panama. At the same time, procedural matters are determined in accordance with Ukrainian procedural law.

We further advised on applicable limitation periods, interruption mechanisms, interest accrual rules, and enforcement considerations under Panamanian law. Particular attention was given to the contractual framework regulating interest, default consequences, and the validity and duration of the agreement.

Cross-border disputes of this nature require coordinated understanding of:

• Private international law principles

• Jurisdiction and forum strategy

• Interaction between substantive and procedural law

• Interest calculation and financial exposure

• Enforcement planning across jurisdictions

Our firm supports clients in structuring international credit agreements, assessing litigation risks, and representing their interests before Ukrainian courts in disputes governed by foreign law.

If your business operates between Panama and Ukraine, we are ready to provide clear legal strategy and practical solutions tailored to cross-border commercial realities.
