Together with the participants, Olexandr analysed the «Evidence Process in Business Disputes: Preparation, Submission, and Evaluation of Evidence». The presentation went on to cover the preparation, submission and evaluation of evidence, outlining the steps involved in working with evidence and emphasising the importance of a systematic approach, from data collection to the formation of a clear evidence base. Particular attention was paid to the intricacies of evidence evaluation by the court, including its relevance and reliability, as well as the need to take into account the specifics of each individual case.
In the part of the report on «Inadmissibility of Evidence: Strategy and Tactics», EQUITY Partner provided specific tactics that help to identify inadmissible evidence in time and properly argue its inadmissibility in court.
The Partner also shared practical advice from his own experience in working with witnesses, in particular, how to properly prepare them for testimony, avoid provocative questions from the opponent and protect the client's interests in the most difficult situations.
Olexandr reviewed effective ways of collecting evidence by working with private detectives, engaging specialised experts and using modern technologies that significantly enhance the capabilities of lawyers in preparing for a trial.
Counsel at EQUITY Andrii Ivaniv delivered a presentation on «Problematic Debts».
As part of the report, the Counsel gave examples of relevant and interesting practice on debt collection, including the timing, amount, currency of collection, security measures and fraudulent activity. He also reviewed the legislative regulation and court practice of factoring operations.
In conclusion, the Counsel spoke in detail about protecting the interests of creditors during the pre-trial rehabilitation procedure.
«In a market economy, given that Ukraine is in a state of war, the debtor's rehabilitation prior to the initiation of bankruptcy proceedings is a priority out-of-court procedure in a bankruptcy case and an effective tool for bringing a company out of crisis and restoring its solvency,» said Andriy.
