Economic disputes with the state: we invite you to the event

On August 8, 2025, the Ukrainian Bar Association invites lawyers, judges, entrepreneurs and everyone interested in fair legal proceedings in economic disputes to the event “Economic disputes with the state: legal process in the shadow of Leviathan”.

The state as a customer has a powerful influence on the public contract market, but its participation in economic disputes is often accompanied by institutional advantage. This creates challenges for business, which finds itself in conditions of inequality of the parties. Judicial practice, in particular, of the Supreme Court, is gradually outlining the limits of such state participation. At the same time, economic disputes are increasingly accompanied by pre-trial intervention or investigations, which further complicates law enforcement. The event will help analyze these trends, the practice of the Supreme Court, as well as find a balance between the public interest and the protection of the rights of private entities.

Vladyslav Martynchuk, a lawyer at the law firm DE-JURE, will present a report on the topic “Invalidity of State Contracts. Protection from Claims for the Return of Funds or Property.” In particular, he will provide answers to the following questions:

1. Features of Restitution in Public Procurement.
2. Return of Sold State Property.
3. Requirements for the Prosecutor’s Participation.
4. Protection of Good Faith Acquirers of Illegally Alienated State Property.
