Enforcement Proceedings. Lifting Property and Business Asset Attachments

Enforcement proceedings in commercial relations represent the definitive stage of safeguarding business interests, where a commercial court judgment or other executive title is converted into tangible financial recovery. For the creditor company, prompt enforcement of a commercial court order means actual debt recovery, compensation for damages, and restoration of corporate liquidity. Conversely, for a debtor enterprise, unlawful actions by the bailiff service create existential risks of operational paralysis, broken supply chains, and insolvency. Attorney Yuriy Kozachuk, Ph.D. in Law, provides comprehensive legal representation in the enforcement of commercial court judgments—both for corporate creditors (securing diligent asset tracing and actual fund recovery) and for debtor companies (protecting production assets against predatory undervaluation and unlawful forced alienation).

Comprehensive attorney support for business in enforcement proceedings encompasses auditing the legality of opening proceedings under commercial court orders, exercising rigorous procedural oversight over state and private bailiffs, and defending corporate rights at every stage. The attorney promptly appeals unlawful bailiff decrees, unjustified assessments of statutory enforcement fees and private bailiff remuneration, wrongful inventory and attachment of assets, as well as manipulated appraisals of commercial facilities prior to listing on electronic auctions (SETAM). Timely deployment of procedural remedies secures stays of execution, exclusion of vital industrial equipment from attachment inventories, and annulment of auctions conducted in violation of the law.

Of paramount significance for corporate operational continuity is the prompt unfreezing of assets attached during enforcement proceedings—specifically corporate bank accounts, commercial real estate, motor vehicles, specialized machinery, raw material stocks, and corporate ownership rights. The practice of bailiffs imposing blanket attachments across all company accounts or enterprise property for minor liabilities directly violates the fundamental principle of proportionality. Through robust judicial and administrative appeals, the attorney achieves immediate lifting of disproportionate seizures, restores unhindered circulation of cashless corporate funds, and secures full deletion of company entries from the Unified Register of Debtors of Ukraine.

A dedicated and critical priority within attorney Yuriy Kozachuk's practice is lifting attachments from real estate, movable property, and/or monetary bank funds imposed within criminal proceedings (Articles 170–174 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine). In contemporary commercial environments, seizures of company bank accounts, manufacturing lines, real estate, or inventory of the company are frequently utilized by pre-trial investigative bodies as leverage against legitimate business. The attorney drafts and files substantiated motions before the investigating judge or the court to cancel property seizures of the corporate entity (or third parties whose assets were unlawfully encumbered). Demonstrating the absence of connection between company assets and the investigated offenses, failure to satisfy criteria of reasonableness and necessity, and excessive interference with lawful economic activity, the attorney secures immediate asset unfreezing and restitution of property to corporate control.
