On March 18, 2013 the Commercial Section of British Embassy and Bar Council of England and Wales gathered representatives of English and Ukrainian legal society at the breakfast meeting “Barristers and the Legal Services They Provide for Corporate Clients in Ukraine” and legal seminar “Asset Protection in the Commercial, Criminal and Matrimonial Courts”.

Participants discussed issues regarding claims that must be brought in case of fraud, the possibility to consider these claims in England if the fraud occurred in Ukraine, as well as necessary actions to be performed in order to protect business while the claims are being considered. The second session of the seminar was devoted to some issues regarding criminal courts work, the issue regarding protection of the share of the matrimonial assets during divorce, cases when criminal courts may assist and payment for legal proceedings in England.
