Protecting Rights in Case of Contract Defects or Invalidity: Effective Dispute Resolution Approaches

In legal practice, every defect in a contract opens the door to a complex labyrinth of legal consequences. In this context, the legal qualification of the defect - whether it constitutes nullity or voidability — plays a crucial role. This classification shapes the legal strategy: is it sufficient to seek only the consequences of invalidity, or is a formal claim for recognition of invalidity required? Is the breach alone enough to justify restitution, or must the claimant also prove the counterparty’s bad faith?

Protection of the right to privacy by removing a candidate's declaration from the register

In today's world, where privacy boundaries are increasingly blurred, protecting personal data has become critical. One way to safeguard personal data and the right to respect for private life is to remove a candidate's declaration from the Unified State Register of Declarations of Persons Authorized to Perform State or Local Government Functions. Ukrainian legislation establishes requirements for the retention and processing of public information. However, in practice, these requirements are not always adhered to.

Protecting Business Reputation: How to Safeguard Your Company from False Information?

In today's business environment, corporate reputation is the invisible thread that connects a company with its clients, partners, and society. The business reputation of a legal entity is the general perception or image that the public holds about it based on its actions, performance, and communications. Although built over many years, it can be destroyed instantly due to the spread of false or negative information. Misinformation, whether disseminated through media or social networks, can undermine customer and partner trust, effectively erasing years of hard work. Protecting a business's reputation is not just a matter of prestige but a crucial element for business survival in an era of intense competition. The dissemination of false information serves as grounds for legal protection.
