    Shareholders Agreement

    Problem with offshore website data migration company

    I think it depends on how much you paid them for the job whether it is worth pursuing. If you would like to pursue it, I would indeed recommend instructing a Ukrainian lawyer (assuming the Ukrainian company has no assets in the UK). PM me if you'd like a recommendation for a Ukrainian lawyer.
