Legal opinions and expert witness reports on Ukrainian law: opinions for foreign courts and arbitral tribunals, expert evidence on the content and application of Ukrainian law, and enforceability analyses. In this section, the lawyers of JVS Law examine what foreign forums require from an opinion on foreign law — CPR Part 35 in London, Rule 44.1 in US practice, the IBA Rules in arbitration — how it is submitted, and the typical reasons an opinion loses weight. The guides also cover the Ukrainian side of the same discipline: serving proceedings on a Ukrainian defendant, taking evidence in Ukraine for a foreign court, exclusive jurisdiction, and the opinions a closing team needs from a Ukrainian law firm. Written by the partners who sign them — Doctors of Laws, with expert appointments before the PCA (The Hague) and the High Court (London).
