Military law

The firm’s military practice covers the legal relationships that arise from mobilisation and military service: from registration and deferrals through to discharge, pay, and the protection of servicemen and their families.

Our services

• Challenging military medical board decisions
• Deferral from mobilisation
• Disputes with the territorial recruitment centre
• Defence in AWOL and desertion cases
• Discharge from military service and demobilisation
• Military pay and allowances
• Reservation of employees liable for military service
• Protection of servicemen’s rights
• Military registration from abroad: consular matters

How we handle these matters

• we assess each situation against the legislation as currently in force — the mobilisation rules change often
• we work on paper: formal applications, requests, complaints, claims
• legal protection remains available under martial law: justice is administered by the courts alone, and curtailing or accelerating any form of judicial procedure is prohibited (Article 26 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law”)
• we act for servicemen, for their families and for employers
• the scope of work and the payment terms are agreed in writing before we start

Mobilisation legislation changes frequently. This page reflects the position as of August 2026; before acting on it, take advice on the wording currently in force.
