Against black PR
In business, the most dangerous attack is from behind — from the person standing closest. A partner secretly opening a parallel company and transferring your clients. A director signing fictitious contracts and funneling money to shell sole proprietors. A competitor ordering a «black PR» campaign from anonymous accounts. A former top manager leaving with your client base.
O'LAW attorneys in Lviv protect businesses on both fronts — internal (partners, directors, employees) and external (competitors, raiders, manipulative campaigns). We don't just «put out fires», we build a legal fortress in advance. Current as of 2026.
Threat #1: Internal enemy — partners and management
Corporate conflicts are the most complex — the enemy has access to your documents, accounts, and contacts. What we handle:
- Corporate Deadlock (50/50). Unblocking an LLC with equal share distribution through shareholder agreement, mediation, or court
- LLC participant expulsion. Forced removal of a partner systematically harming the business (Art. 24 Law «On LLC»)
- Asset recovery. Challenging fictitious contracts, shell sole proprietor transactions, loss-making director deals
- Director liability. Damage recovery for mismanagement, authority excess, deliberate sabotage
- Raiding defense. Corporate rights arrest, challenging illegal shareholders meeting decisions, criminal proceedings under Art. 206-1 Criminal Code
- NDA + NCA for team. Non-disclosure and non-compete agreements for top managers and key employees
Threat #2: External aggression — competitors and «dirty» methods
Competition is the market's engine. But when a competitor plays «dirty» — the law provides tools to respond:
- Fighting «black PR». Fixing, attorney requests to providers, lawsuit for business reputation protection, damage recovery (Art. 94 Civil Code)
- Trade secret protection. Punishment for client base theft and know-how theft (Art. 232 Criminal Code — up to 5 years), damage recovery
- AMCU complaints. Fines for competitors for discreditation, corporate identity copying, misleading advertising (Law «On Unfair Competition Protection»)
- Reputation cyber-attack defense. Removing fake reviews, negative SEO, counterfeit website clones
- TM defense from copying. Objections to similar TM registrations, infringement lawsuits
- Defense from client poaching. Lawsuits against former partners who opened competing businesses in violation of NCA
«Fortress» Strategy: 4 Steps of Preventive Protection
1
Vulnerability audit
Review Charter, director authority, employment contracts, trade secret regime, information access system
2
Shareholder agreement and Charter
Deadlock mechanism, ROFR, lock-up, director authority limits, partner exit mechanism — in documents, not promises
3
NDA, NCA and trade secret regime
Non-disclosure and non-compete agreements for the team + trade secret order + access log — legal foundation for Art. 232 Criminal Code prosecution
4
Asset restructuring
Structuring ownership so key assets are legally protected from arrests, partner claims, and raider schemes
