Frequently asked questions
Before we begin.
Our Ukrainian IT team now works from Dubai. What should we put in place?
Review which entity employs or contracts each person, who owns the code and other work product, and whether your customer agreements reflect where and how the work is now done.
We still run a business in Ukraine. How should it relate to our Dubai company?
Start by mapping what each company does, who owns it and how money and services flow between them. That picture shapes the agreements needed. Ukrainian legal and tax questions should be reviewed with advisers in Ukraine.
Can I start the conversation from Ukraine?
Yes. Use the enquiry form to introduce yourself, the people or businesses involved and what you want to achieve, wherever you are in Ukraine or the UAE. Keep it brief and avoid confidential documents until an engagement is agreed. An enquiry does not create a lawyer-client relationship.
Do you advise on the law of Ukraine?
Our practice is based in Dubai. Where your matter also involves the law of Ukraine, we will say so early and discuss coordinating with appropriately qualified advisers there.
