Commodity transactions are rarely limited to signing a contract. In practice, they develop across multiple stages – from negotiating the commercial framework and agreeing contractual terms to performance, delivery, documentation, payment and the management of issues that arise in the course of the transaction.

We advise both Ukrainian companies engaged in export and import operations and foreign businesses entering into transactions with Ukrainian counterparties.

Our work covers the international trade of agricultural products, oilseeds, feed products, vegetable oils, fertilizers and other commodities. Our assistance includes contract structuring under GAFTA, FOSFA and other trade standards, advice on delivery terms, documentary requirements, risk allocation and contractual protections, as well as ongoing legal support during contract performance and across the supply chain. This allows clients to address legal and commercial issues as they arise, maintain greater control over the transaction and reduce the risk of disruption, exposure or escalation into dispute.

We act for traders, exporters, importers, commodity brokers, producers, processors and other participants in international supply chains.
