Вихідна ситуація та практичний контекст

What is an online legal consultation

Online legal consultation is a focused one-to-one session with a lawyer where you present your situation, share documents, and receive a clear, structured legal position and an action plan — entirely remotely.

Legal company «ЮДЕЙ» provides online legal consultations for:

• Ukrainians who live or work abroad;

• foreign individuals and businesses with interests in Ukraine;

• owners, founders and CEOs who need a quick, reliable legal view before making decisions.

The consultation is paid (from 4 000 UAH) and oriented at the premium segment, where the stakes are high and delays or mistakes are costly.

Who online legal consultation is for

Online legal consultation is suitable if you:

• Live abroad, but your life is still tied to Ukraine
  Property, family, inheritance, business, court cases, debts or assets in Ukraine.

• Run or plan a business with Ukrainian or cross-border elements
  Ukrainian contractors, developers, suppliers, clients, warehouses, bank accounts, partners.

• Have a complex personal or family situation
  Divorce, custody, alimony, division of property, inheritance, relocation of one spouse or children.

• Already have a dispute or risk of dispute
  Contract breach, unpaid invoices, blocked funds, threatened litigation, investigation or administrative proceedings.

• Need to understand consequences before acting
  Signing a contract, transferring assets, starting or closing a company, changing tax residency, moving country.

If you need more than generic internet advice and want a professional who looks specifically at your documents and facts, online legal consultation is the correct entry point.

What you actually receive from an online legal consultation

An online legal consultation with «ЮДЕЙ» is not just a call — it is a compact legal project.

You receive:

• clear explanation of your legal position in plain language, without unnecessary jargon;

• mapping of scenarios: what happens if you do nothing, if you act conservatively, or if you take an aggressive approach;

• concrete recommendations: what to do, what not to do, what documents to collect or change;

• where appropriate, a structured follow-up plan (steps, approximate deadlines, expected complexity);

• understanding of realistic risks, not imaginary fears.

The goal is that you finish the session with answers to:
“Where am I legally? What are my options? What should I do next?”

Formats of online legal consultation

We adapt the format to your preferences and the nature of the matter:

Video or audio consultation

• ideal for complex, dynamic situations;

• allows live Q&A, screen sharing with documents;

• useful when several stakeholders (e.g. spouses, partners, co-founders) join the call.

Structured written consultation

• you send detailed description and documents;

• lawyer prepares written analysis and recommendations;

• suitable if you prefer to carefully read and re-use the advice later or provide it to other advisors.

Mixed format

• preliminary written questions and materials;

• online call to clarify and prioritise, then — short summary of key points and action items.

Regardless of format, the consultation is always personalised. No templates, no generic answers.

How online legal consultation with «ЮДЕЙ» works

Step 1. Initial contact and outline

You briefly describe:

• who you are and where you are now;

• what your connection to Ukraine is (citizenship, assets, business, disputes);

• what has already happened and what you are considering doing;

• your main questions and what outcome you want.

This helps us check that your request is within our competence and choose the right lawyer.

Step 2. Document sharing

Before the consultation, you provide:

• scans or photos of contracts, letters, court documents, corporate papers, IDs or powers of attorney (if relevant);

• any previous advice you received which you want us to comment on.

The more complete the information, the more precise and practical the advice will be.

Step 3. Paid online consultation

During the session:

• we ask targeted clarifying questions;

• verify how Ukrainian law applies to your facts and how it interacts with foreign elements;

• check time limits, formal requirements and practical obstacles;

• explain options, consequences and risks for each route.

You can ask questions until you clearly understand the picture and next steps.

Step 4. Short summary and next-step plan

After the consultation, depending on the matter, you may receive:

• a short written recap of key points and recommendations;

• a list of actions you can take yourself;

• an outline of possible further legal work and its expected cost, if you want us to proceed.

You are free to stop at this stage or continue with us for drafting, negotiations or representation.

When online legal consultation is especially valuable

Online legal consultation is particularly useful when:

• you need to make a high-impact decision and cannot afford a mistake;

• you are comparing several options (sell, keep, restructure, litigate, settle) and need an external legal view;

• you already feel pressure — from the other party, from authorities or from deadlines;

• you want to confirm or challenge advice received elsewhere;

• you want to see if your problem can be solved without immediately starting a full-scale case.

For many clients, one well-prepared online consultation saves months of stress and significant sums of money.

It is still worth consulting.
We can:

No.
Online legal consultations in this section are held in English. If some documents are in Ukrainian, we explain their meaning in English.

Yes, if you wish.
Involving key people often helps to clarify facts and align expectations, especially in business, family or inheritance matters.

Our task is to give you a clear picture and options.
If further work is needed, we explain what it would include and what it would cost. The decision to proceed is always yours.
