L.I.Group is a Ukrainian law firm established to handle complex legal and business situations: insolvency, debt restructuring, distressed assets, banking disputes and litigation, enforcement proceedings, and strategic business protection.

Founded in 2008, the firm brings together more than 25 attorneys and 10 insolvency practitioners and advises both Ukrainian clients and foreign companies that are already operating in Ukraine or are only entering the market.

The firm’s core strength lies in combining deep procedural expertise in insolvency and restructuring matters with a strong litigation practice, banking disputes, creditor protection, work with distressed debt, and crisis business situations. The firm regularly handles complex, multi-layered mandates in which any legal solution must simultaneously account for litigation prospects, financial logic, creditor interests, and the need to preserve the business as a going concern.

The firm actively and regularly participates in the country’s leading professional events.

The firm’s institutional standing is reinforced by the role of its senior partners in the professional self-governance of insolvency practitioners: Mykola Kovalchuk chairs the Council of Insolvency Practitioners of Kyiv Region.

Artur Megeria chairs the Council of Insolvency Practitioners of the City of Kyiv, which plays an active role in the self-governance of insolvency practitioners.

Taken together with the team’s participation in sector-specific forums, expert discussions, and professional working platforms, this sends an important message to clients: L.I.Group not only applies the law, but also contributes to shaping the professional environment and the practice of its application.

Another important advantage of the firm is its close interaction with public authorities and the professional community in discussing, improving, and practically implementing legislation. Through its role as a General Partner of the Ukrainian Bar Association in 2022, as well as its participation in specialised committees, industry forums, and discussions on insolvency and preventive restructuring reforms, the team is systematically involved in professional dialogue with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Economy, the banking sector, and self-governing organisations of insolvency practitioners. For a foreign client, this means not merely a strong procedural team, but an adviser who understands not only the rules currently in force, but also the logic behind their development.

L.I.Group also consistently demonstrates an active social and civic mission. The firm’s public materials reflect legal guidance for businesses operating in wartime conditions, informational support for Ukrainians who were forced to leave the country, participation in volunteer and humanitarian initiatives, and support for projects of public importance. This matters to international clients seeking in Ukraine not only a strong legal team, but also a partner with the right values, resilience, and reputation.

Notable Matters:

In 2026, L.I.Group handled two court cases on preventive restructuring involving two of Ukraine’s largest industrial plants: PJSC Dnipro Metallurgical Plant and JSC Kharkiv Tractor Plant.

As a result of the legal support provided, preventive restructuring plans were approved, enabling the debtors to restore solvency.
What makes these matters particularly significant is that they are among the first in Ukraine to apply the preventive restructuring procedure.

The firm also provided comprehensive and in-depth expertise in Ukrainian bankruptcy law within the framework of the ICSID arbitration between Gilward Investments B.V. and the State of Ukraine, contributing to the analysis of insolvency-related aspects in an international investment dispute.

The firm provided legal support in the M&A transaction relating to TAS Group’s acquisition of JSC “Idea Bank”.

In addition, with L.I.Group’s involvement, the Sky Towers skyscraper was sold for UAH 560.47 million within enforcement proceedings in which JSC “Ukreximbank” was the judgment creditor.
