Managing a civil case in Ukraine while you are abroad

Organising communication, representation, electronic documents and hearing participation without being physically present in Ukraine.

What can often be done remotely

  • consultation and strategy approval
  • document exchange through an agreed secure channel
  • preparation and filing by an authorised representative
  • procedural information through court electronic services

Participation in court

  • video participation depends on procedural conditions, technical availability and the court’s decision
  • a representative acts within the authority conferred by law and the engagement
  • personal attendance may still be ordered or required for a non-delegable act

Information to provide at the outset

  • country and communication channel
  • case number, court and nearest date
  • available electronic and paper documents
  • documents already executed abroad
  • practical objective and known timing

Official sources

Remote communication does not stop procedural deadlines; foreign documents, apostille or legalisation requirements are checked separately.
