AMV Law Offices of Martinenko, Volkovetskyi and Partners is an international dispute resolution boutique based in Ukraine, with over 40 years of continuous legal practice.
AMV advises and represents multinational corporations, sovereign states, governmental organisations, and private clients in high-profile cross-border disputes.
AMV specialises exclusively in dispute resolution: international commercial arbitration, investment treaty arbitration, cross-border litigation, special investigations, compensation of damages, and sanctions-related matters.
AMV manages the full lifecycle of a dispute, from initial strategy, evidence gathering, and interim measures, through hearings and final award, to recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards and court judgments. Clients can engage AMV at any stage of proceedings.
AMV’s lawyers are qualified under Ukrainian law and regularly serve as Ukrainian law experts and expert witnesses in international arbitration and foreign court proceedings, providing expert opinions, legal opinions, and affidavits.
AMV team acts in proceedings under all major international and domestic arbitral frameworks, including: the ICC, LCIA, VIAC, SCC, SAC/SCAI, AAA, FOSFA/GAFTA, ICAC at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce as well as ICAC at the European Arbitration Chamber, UNCITRAL, and ICSID rules. Our expertise also covers ad hoc proceedings.
