When Everything Is At Stake
Tenet is a criminal defence agency retained by individuals and organisations facing the most serious charges. We do not accept every case — we accept the right ones.
Fiat Justitia
Let Justice Be Done
Defence Practice
We practise exclusively in criminal law. Each matter is handled by a senior attorney — no delegation to junior associates.
Criminal Defence at Every Stage
Representation from first contact with investigators through pre-trial investigation, trial and sentencing, before courts at every level in Ukraine.
White Collar & Financial Crime
Defence in fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and corporate criminal investigations where reputation and liberty are equally at risk.
Pre-Charge Representation
Engagement before charges are filed. Early intervention defines the outcome — we position clients before prosecutors make their decisions.
Violent & Serious Crime
Defence in the most consequential criminal matters including homicide, assault, and organised crime. Uncompromising advocacy at every stage.
Appeals & Post-Conviction
Challenging wrongful convictions, excessive sentences, and procedural failures at appellate and supreme court level.
Corporate & Executive Exposure
Protecting directors, executives, and institutions facing criminal liability arising from business operations, regulatory breaches, or internal investigations.
A Record Earned in Court
Founded in 2008, Tenet has built its reputation exclusively in criminal defence. We are retained by those who understand that the attorney they choose will determine everything.
Our approach is direct and unsparing. We investigate before we advise, advise before we commit, and commit fully when we take a case. We do not promise outcomes — we deliver them.
Integrity — We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Our counsel is honest and unconditional.
Excellence — Every matter — regardless of complexity — receives the full attention of a principal attorney and dedicated research team.
Results — Our record speaks. Acquittals, dismissals, and charge reductions in matters prosecutors considered closed.

Common Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often. Still have one? Reach out — we respond within one business day.
How does Tenet accept new matters?
We accept cases by direct instruction and referral from existing clients, counsel, and trusted intermediaries. Prospective clients may contact us by phone, email or messenger — we review each matter and respond to those we are positioned to assist.
How do you structure your fees?
Fee structures are discussed directly and in confidence once we have assessed the matter. We do not publish rates.
How long will my case take?
Case timelines depend on the nature and complexity of the matter. A pre-charge intervention may resolve quickly; a complex trial can span months or years. After an initial review, we provide a realistic timeline tailored to your situation.
Do you handle cases outside Kyiv?
Yes. Tenet represents clients before courts across Ukraine. For international matters, we coordinate with qualified local counsel in the relevant country.
What should I expect at first contact?
An initial call with a partner — not a paralegal or intake coordinator. We assess the matter directly and advise whether we are able to act.
Is everything I share with you confidential?
Absolutely. All communications between you and Tenet attorneys are protected by attorney-client privilege from first contact. We take confidentiality seriously and never share client information without explicit consent.
Can I reach my attorney outside of business hours?
Yes. For urgent matters, clients have a direct line to their partner outside business hours, so you are never left without answers when it matters most.
