Labor relations represent one of the most dynamic and socially significant areas of law, as they are directly connected to the realization of the constitutional right to work. Resolving labor disputes requires a comprehensive understanding of labor legislation norms, relevant judicial practice, and the specifics of their application under constant legislative changes. The legal assistance I provide in this field combines thorough theoretical training as a Ph.D. in Law with practical experience representing the interests of both employees and employers, enabling the formation of an effective defense strategy.

The labor legislation of Ukraine (Labor Code) contains strong employee protection mechanisms, but implementing them independently in a court dispute with a large company that has its own legal department is extremely difficult. It is important to remember that the law sets very short deadlines for applying to court in labor disputes (for example, only one month in cases of dismissal), so delay is unacceptable.

Attorney Yuriy Kozachuk offers effective judicial and out-of-court protection of your labor rights. We ensure full reinstatement after unlawful dismissal with the mandatory collection of average earnings for the entire period of forced unemployment. We also successfully recover salary arrears and unpaid severance compensations, and appeal illegal reprimands or material liability orders.

For specialists and executives, including those in the IT sector, we support the development, conclusion, and termination of unique employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements (NDA), and non-compete agreements (NCA), protecting your interests from discriminatory terms.

We will help you restore justice, recover your funds, and protect your professional reputation. Seek qualified legal assistance from a Ph.D. in Law.

Full scope of work within this practice:

Reinstatement at work after unlawful dismissal and recovery of average wages for the duration of forced absence.
Recovery of unpaid wages, compensation and other entitlements upon dismissal.
Challenging unlawful orders of employers, disciplinary penalties and working conditions.
Consulting on and supporting the conclusion and termination of employment contracts and agreements, including in the IT sector.
Resolving complex labour disputes and representing employees and executives in court.

Expert Advice

Upon reinstatement through court, the employer is obligated to pay the employee their average earnings for the entire period of forced unemployment without any statutory cap limit. A qualified legal calculation of this amount is key to full recovery of your financial losses.
