At
Grischenko & Partners, we defend the rights of our clients (Ukrainian and foreign persons and
legal entities) in courts and before the arbitration tribunals.
Our lawyers have represented the interests of both Ukrainian and foreign
clients in judicial matters and arbitration cases in such international
arbitration institutions as the London Court of International Arbitration and
the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
Furthermore, we have successfully represented the Government of Ukraine in several multi-million arbitration disputes at the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes in Washington, DC. Our law firm acted as counsel for the Government of Ukraine in five concluded ICSID cases against Ukraine. The result is two won cases (the cases of Generation Ukraine, Inc. and Tokios Tokeles - jointly with law firm Proxen & Partners) and two settlements (Lemire (first case) and Western NIS Enterprise cases) without a monetary compensation by the respondent State, as well as Alpha Projektholding (jointly with Proxen & Partners), in which the awarded amount of claimed damages was substantially reduced.
In 2008, Grischenko & Partners, jointly with Proxen & Partners, defended the interests of Ukraine in the arbitration case upon the claim of the Latvian Company AMTO at the Arbitration Institute, of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, which case was won by Ukraine. This was the first successful case of the respondent state in an investment dispute under the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT). In 2011, in the other invesment dispute under the ECT - Remington v Ukraine (in which Grischenko & Partners represented Ukraine) - the awarded amount of claimed damages was substantially reduced.
