Dmytro Ochkolias, associate attorney, advocate at Interlegal:
In view of intensive hostilities and obstacles caused by martial law, the most vital issue concerns renewal and functioning of the Ukrainian infrastructure. In accordance with national and international law, the state is entitled to take measures aimed to defend its interests and to secure national infrastructure safety. Therefore, the Black Sea Humanitarian Corridors is a crucial step aimed to facilitate safe and effective vessel traffic and cargo delivery through the Black Sea.
However, the state of war may also cause serious risks for investments and business activities. In this context, the current and adopted governmental guarantees regarding loss of investments may serve as an important tool aimed to encourage investors under indefinite conditions and war risks.
As of a certain legal support for port and adjacent infrastructure projects, that is quite a reasonable solution to apply to Interlegal law firm. Interlegal has vast experience in shipping & maritime law, being competent in settlement of issues related to port infrastructure functioning.In general, risk management, adoption of governmental guarantees and legal advice – that’s what may help business entities and investors to get adapted to complicated conditions of martial law and to keep economy stable.
