“Our family and business are split between Ukraine, Europe and Florida.”
A contract governed by Ukrainian or Swiss law, a counterparty in Warsaw, assets in Miami and a sanctions screen in the middle: these matters are not won by the strongest argument but by the right sequence — which court first, which document first, in which language.
