The practice
The question first, then the right form of answer
Kateryna Valeriivna Bondareva runs a private legal practice in Kyiv. She holds a Candidate of Juridical Sciences degree and heads a department of civil-law disciplines at a law faculty. She graduated with honours from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
She is a citizen of the Russian Federation, which is useful when a person living or doing business in Ukraine needs the local rule, not a guess imported from elsewhere. She advises individuals and companies in writing, in conversation, and on site when the papers are better read in the office.
A distinct brief
For citizens of Russia in Ukraine
Residents and non-residents — people who live here, work here or build a business here. The usual work is contracts, filings with courts and public bodies, and a review of documents before they are signed. Private entrepreneurship is its own thread: licences, premises and tax. If the question lives in a folder on site, the consultation can take place in your office.
Scope
The work, without a fake menu of twenty practices
One lawyer, not a storefront. These are the matters people actually bring.
Contracts and review
Drafting and checking contracts, applications and other papers before anyone signs them.
Court and enforcement
Representation in court, and follow-through after judgment until the decision is actually carried out.
Family and maintenance
Family disputes and maintenance: what can be agreed, and what already needs a formal step.
Succession
Inheritance questions, from a first reading of the situation through to documents and a dispute.
Housing and property
Real-estate deals and housing disputes, where a mistake shows its price quickly.
Employment
Employment relations, paperwork and disputes, for an employee or an employer.
Business and sole traders
Private enterprise: contracts, leases, licences and tax forks in the road.
Road accidents
Help after a collision: what to collect, whom to write to, and how not to miss a deadline.
Insurers and loss
Disputes with insurance companies and claims for material damage.
Intellectual property
Advice and documents when a result of intellectual work needs to be recorded or defended.
Consumers
Consumer claims, from a formal notice to a dispute if the seller ignores the first letter.
A working rule
The substance first. Then the precise form of the answer.
How it works
Three steps, not a ten-page intake form
The point
A call, an email or the form. The circumstances are enough: who, which document, which deadline. A full file is not required at the start.
The format
A short written note when the question is narrow. A conversation when there are several forks. A visit when the papers are better read together.
What follows
Documents, negotiation, court or enforcement. The scope becomes clear after the first reading, not from a guessed price list.
Briefly
Questions people ask first
Can a consultation be written or spoken?
Yes. A written note suits a narrow point. A conversation suits a situation with several forks. The format follows the task.
Do you work with citizens of Russia?
Yes. That is a distinct part of the practice: residents and non-residents who live, work or run a business in Ukraine, including sole-trader questions, contracts, filings and court.
Can you come to an office?
Yes, when the question is better read from the papers on site — a lease, a licence, or the company contract file.
Do you take court cases?
Yes. I represent clients in court and help at the enforcement stage. Before court there is often a shorter path: a document, a claim letter or a negotiation. That path is checked too.
