Fees
- Fixed fee for the first-stage ‘Written action plan for your situation’: UAH 4,000.
- Standard scope: one situation, one legal objective and up to 25 pages of agreed documents.
- The stage includes questionnaire and document review, legal classification, three next actions, a missing-document list, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Where the next stage can be defined, its fixed fee is provided before work begins.
- More than 25 pages, additional objectives, urgent work or foreign-language documents are priced before work begins as a separate or extended stage.
- Court fees, notaries, translation, valuation, experts, registration and other third-party costs are excluded and agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
- the contractual basis is reviewed first
- consumer law may provide additional remedies
When this service is not suitable
- double recovery is not available for every prepayment
- unjust enrichment does not automatically apply while a contract remains the legal basis
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval
