Assisting Foreign Attorneys with Fact-Finding and Legal Support in Ukraine

Lions Lawyers regularly assists foreign attorneys and international law firms in establishing legal facts that have taken place — or are currently taking place — within the jurisdiction of Ukraine.As Ukrainian-qualified lawyers, we are able to verify and document a wide range of legal circumstances that may be critical for foreign proceedings. This includes confirming ownership rights, corporate status, property regimes, court records, service of process, and other evidentiary matters required by overseas courts or counsel.

Recent Case Experience

Our most recent engagement involved supporting U.S. attorneys in an ongoing legal dispute currently being heard before courts in the United States.

The client required formal confirmation of the ownership regime and usage rights relating to certain real estate located in Ukraine. In addition, we were instructed to arrange the delivery (service) of court documents to a recipient residing at a registered address in Ukraine.

To fulfil these instructions, we developed and executed a structured action plan which included:

• Visiting multiple physical locations in Kyiv

• Verifying property and registration data

• Documenting factual and legal circumstances on the ground

• Recording evidence in a format suitable for use in foreign proceedings

Service of Legal Documents

As part of the mandate, Lions Lawyers formally served legal documents on the recipient in Ukraine.

Following service, we issued an official legal statement (affidavit / certificate of service) confirming:

• The identity of the recipient

• The address of service

• The method and date of delivery

• Compliance with applicable Ukrainian procedural standards

Use of Evidence in U.S. Proceedings

All documentation prepared by our firm was subsequently submitted and successfully relied upon in U.S. court proceedings as supporting evidence.

Our cross-border litigation support ensures that foreign attorneys obtain reliable, admissible, and properly documented legal facts from Ukraine — reducing procedural risks and evidentiary challenges.
