The law firm "Zilver" provides legal services to businesses at any possible stage of their management. At the same time, the tasks and forms of cooperation can be of absolutely different nature:

• Registration actions with LLC/JSC/PE

Any business is subject to state registration, as well as subsequent changes of address, KVEDs, composition of founders or management, amendments to constituent documents, and reorganization of the enterprise. Despite the apparent simplicity, such registration actions require qualification and careful preparation, especially when it comes to the purchase and sale of corporate rights, M&A, withdrawal of a participant or spin-off of a company. In such cases, it is important to comply not only with the formal requirements for registering changes, but also to carry out preparatory work in the field of tax, labor, currency law, etc. Legal work with the State Securities and Stock Market Commission requires separate qualifications.

If a foreign company/foreign citizen or resident of Ukraine plans to purchase commercial real estate in Ukraine, we recommend conducting a legal audit (due diligence) of the entire project: check the property itself (all title documents), its history (privatization, presence of court cases, re-registration), check the counterparty to the transaction for reliability. Having made sure that the transaction is not risky, we will be able to choose and advise the most optimal way to acquire such a property: to minimize tax liabilities and expenses, while preserving and ensuring the protection of the investor's property rights to such a property. After that, our lawyers will support the entire transaction for the acquisition of commercial real estate in Ukraine.

If a foreigner plans to purchase residential real estate in Ukraine, our lawyers will check all documents and the history of the apartment/house, prepare all necessary documents and accompany the purchase of real estate.

At the same time, a foreign company/foreigner will be able to communicate with a ZILVER lawyer in English or German.

For Ukrainian citizens, it is important to check apartments and developers before purchasing an apartment.

A legal check of an apartment on the secondary market is carried out as follows: based on information about the apartment and its owners, lawyers check for the presence of loans, pledges, mortgages, lawsuits , enforcement proceedings , entries in the registers of debtors and other necessary information about the apartment and its owners (including previous ones).

A legal check of an apartment from a developer is carried out as follows: lawyers analyze the contract proposed by the developer, check all available information about the developer and other participants in the developer's structure, take extracts from the register of rights to real estate about the rights to the land plot under the house, etc.

As a result of inspections of an apartment on the secondary market or from a developer, a lawyer provides a consultation with conclusions about the legal safety or presence of legal risks in purchasing the relevant apartment.

Legal services in the field of intellectual property often begin with the registration of marks for goods and services (trademarks) , inventions, utility models, copyright agreements. All these services in Ukraine and abroad are provided by specialists of the law firm "ZILVER".

In addition to the above issues, our lawyers develop, review and conduct negotiations on the conclusion of copyright transfer agreements , licensing agreements, agreements on the creation of intellectual property objects in Ukrainian, Russian, English and German.

When selling intellectual property through a website, marketplaces or applications, the owner may need the help of our lawyers in drafting or checking public offer agreements , license agreements , distribution agreements, publishing agreements, etc.

In case of disputes over intellectual property rights, including copyright remuneration, our lawyers offer services for pre-trial dispute resolution, as well as for protecting interests in court.
