Preparation of a counterclaim in a commercial dispute

According to the law, the plaintiff has the right to file a counterclaim. This can be done either independently or with the help of a lawyer. We do not advise you to defend yourself, as this will only lead to a loss of time and an increase in penalties. Lawyers of RegService provide their clients with a range of services that ensure unconditional victory in most cases.

Types of legal assistance when filing a counterclaim

We provide for our clients:

• analysis of materials and circumstances in the court case
• determination of defense strategy and tactics;
• collection of evidence and interrogation of witnesses;
• drafting motions, applications, complaints and inquiries;
• representation and defense of the client in administrative, commercial and Supreme Economic Court;
• representation of interests in the executive service.

Unfortunately, commercial disputes are a frequent occurrence in Ukraine. Our practice is particularly rich in cases related to bankruptcy and intellectual property infringement. Laws on the protection of the latter are generally still under development in our country.

It is a common situation when one of the parties is unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligations, causing financial damage to a legal entity. Refusal to pay debts in connection with bankruptcy is another problem that our clients often face. Whenever possible, RegService lawyers solve the problem through pre-trial settlement of the dispute. But when the case is already being considered by the court, and you act as a defendant in it, you have the right, if you have grounds for doing so, to file a counterclaim against the plaintiff. As part of a counterclaim, for example, you can invalidate the contract if it was drawn up with violations. In this way, you will be free from all obligations set forth in the agreement.

To resolve your issue, we will consult on the issue of increasing/decreasing claims, prepare a counterclaim, provide evidence, and change the subject matter of the claim, if possible and necessary. Our experience shows that there is a solution in the most difficult situations from a legal point of view, and a properly built strategy and tactics of legal protection of the client helps to find it.
