We invite you to join the “AVELLUM Disputes Day: Asset Recovery”, which will take place on 22 October, at 15:00 (Kyiv time).
This event will be particularly useful for everyone intending to pursue their debtors in Ukraine and abroad.
- The first part of the event will focus on collection of evidence and best instruments available, traditional and more creative ones.
