Integrites has established a new practice dedicated to advising Ukrainian defenders and military units on military law. The new practice is headed by Partner Oleksandr Onishchenko who is also the Head of the Domestic Litigation practice.

According to Integrites, the most frequent matters concern assistance to military personnel, war veterans, and their families in the areas of "social security and how to obtain it, state guarantees and how to implement them, defense in courts and advice on prosecution, including for the unauthorized abandonment of a unit." Integrites also stated that it "works with military units and their patronage services, assisting them with contractual matters, processing of documents for the wounded and killed soldiers, payment of allowances and benefits. Additionally, the team consults charities and volunteers on the import, customs clearance, and documentation of humanitarian aid."

“Since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, our team has been devoting about 2,000 pro bono hours annually to advising military personnel and their families," said Managing Partner Oleksiy Feliv. "Over the past three years, our lawyers have helped more than 150 clients with various issues related to their service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Given the experience gained, we decided to take a logical step and form a military law practice as a full-fledged structural unit. For us, this is a manifestation of responsibility to the Ukrainian society and gratitude to the defenders of our country.”
