On September 18, 2019, the seminar “Crisis projects. Difficult situations - effective solutions” took place, organized and implemented on a partnership basis by law firms Salkom, Sayenko Kharenko, and S.N.S. Partners with the support of the Association of Corporate Security Professionals of Ukraine (ACSPU).

Speakers of the seminar were, in particular, members of the Committee on Judicial and Criminal Defense of the Association of Corporate Security Professionals of Ukraine (ACSPU) Yuriy Leonov - partner of Salkom Law Firm, Olexiy Koltok - adviser of Sayenko Kharenko, Mykhailo Sakun - managing partner of Attorney’s union S.N.S. Partners .

The main topic of this seminar was the issue of ensuring the protection of investors' rights in today's Ukrainian realities. Speakers' reports focused on the issues of crisis management, namely situations in which the achievement of a positive result is unlikely and completely unclear, when to create the possibility of restoring the investor's infringed right the implementation of complex mechanisms involving simultaneous and consistent management of related civil and administrative proceedings, as well as criminal ones, is used.

Salkom Law Firm partner Yuriy Leonov spoke about the practice of investor protection mechanisms against fraudulent schemes, as well as ways for a foreign investor to regain control over a Ukrainian investment object through international legal mechanisms in conjunction with legal measures on the territory of Ukraine. These mechanisms were applied to protect the investment made by a foreign company in the creation of a large agroholding in Ukraine. Four criminal proceedings and more than 40 court cases in Ukrainian commercial courts, most of which were won, provided effective evidential support for the Investor's claim to an International Arbitration Tribunal, which subsequently ruled to recover in his favor nearly 1,000,000,000 UAH in damages from the defendants.
