Aequo has successfully defended the interests of Pilot Group’s TV production companies by concluding settlement agreements in a dispute they were involved in.

According to Aequo, the dispute involved the unlawful transfer of funds from the Pilot Group’s TV production companies’ accounts to the accounts of private entrepreneurs conducted without the knowledge and consent of the Pilot Group TV management. The circumstances of the case, Aequo reports, were complicated by a large number of sham contracts supposedly concluded between the Pilot Group TV companies and the entrepreneurs, and also by parallel criminal proceedings commenced.

The dispute was settled by voluntary reimbursement of funds unreasonably transferred from the Pilot Group TV companies’ accounts and entering into settlement agreements, which were subsequently approved by Ukraine's Commercial Court of Appeal.

The Aequo team consisted of Counsel Yevgen Levitskyi and Associate Yevgen Goncharenko.
