01. Evidence documentation

A solid evidence base is the key to success in the subsequent compensation procedure. Attorneys of ARMADA Law Firm will help you confirm the fact of damages, their extent and amount, and will officially document the violation of your rights and the liability of the Russian Federation.

We organize expert assessments of the damages you suffered (including in occupied territories) based on current market or replacement value. This ensures you can claim compensation not at a depreciated book value, but at a fair market value of your lost assets.

02. Tax optimization and documentation of asset write-offs

Our attorneys assist in properly documenting the write-off of lost assets. We will develop a solid legal position to protect your business during tax audits and to lay the groundwork for canceling tax authority decisions in case of additional tax assessments.

03. Litigation against Russia in Ukrainian courts

We provide full legal support for litigation against the Russian Federation in Ukraine, including enforcement of court decisions.

This litigation mechanism is currently one of the most promising pathways for recovering damages caused by military actions. Court decisions in Ukraine are binding, and no one can refute the facts established by a final court ruling.

Therefore, obtaining a judgment obliging Russia to pay compensation for your damages is one of the most reliable ways to document war-related losses. Moreover, due to international treaties, Ukrainian court decisions can be enforced in other countries—especially in allied jurisdictions (Poland, the UK, the USA, Estonia, Latvia, and many others).

04. Filing a claim against Russia in the European Court of Human Rights

The ECHR is one of the most reputable judicial bodies in the world. It has handled both individual and inter-state cases stemming from various conflicts. The Court has issued compensation rulings in matters arising from conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh, Iraq, Cyprus, and others. An ECHR decision can significantly increase the chances of securing compensation for your damages.

Our attorneys will prepare the application to the ECHR and handle the process from start to finish.

05. Investment arbitration

Past experience shows that investment arbitration is one of the most effective ways to recover compensation from Russia for assets left in temporarily occupied territories. Some Ukrainian companies with assets in Crimea have already paved this path and obtained (and enforced) arbitration awards against Russia.

We provide comprehensive legal support throughout the investment arbitration process—from the initial notice to the future respondent, the Russian Federation, to the receipt of the award and its enforcement.

06. Enforcement of court decisions

We are fully results-oriented and committed to guiding your project to its logical conclusion—securing financial compensation for your company’s destroyed assets.

Our lawyers will provide comprehensive legal support for enforcing court decisions (both in Ukraine and abroad) and will help you obtain compensation for war-related damages.

07. Legal support for interaction with litigation financing funds

Litigation and enforcement abroad—especially in the USA and the UK—is a costly process. That’s why special investment funds have long existed in the West to cover all expenses in exchange for a success fee—a percentage of the awarded compensation. Sometimes, cooperation with such a fund is the best option for a company that has suffered substantial losses but does not wish to allocate a large litigation budget.

In this case, our lawyers will fully organize the process of working with one of these funds, provide a legal opinion on the case’s prospects, and ensure a strong evidentiary base to significantly increase your chances of successful cooperation with the fund.
