Ukrainian Law Day 2026 in London

Dr. Perepelynska moderated the defence panel at Ukrainian Law Day 2026 in London, an essential event organized by The Bar Council of England and Wales in partnership with the Ukrainian Bar Association and SPILKA. This gathering provided a vital platform for discussing the evolving legal landscape amidst the backdrop of Ukraine's ongoing conflict.

This panel, featuring insights from Olexander Droug, Eduard Fesko, Oleg Shaulko and Neil Barnett, focused on the significant rise in disputes within the defense sector following years of full-scale invasion. We explored a range of pressing topics, including:

- The various types of legal issues faced by the defence sector and the urgent need for targeted specialist advice.

- The optimal forums for resolving these disputes: comparing arbitration versus litigation.

- Current hot topics in defence-sector arbitration, which have far-reaching implications for stakeholders involved.

The discussions highlighted not only the complexities of the legal challenges but also the sensitivity of the factual matters at play in these disputes.

Deepest gratitude to Tetyana Nesterchuk, whose tireless efforts were crucial in organizing this important event. Her leadership helped ensure that vital conversations took place.
