An online relationship can become a serious personal commitment long before the people involved meet in person. When the relationship involves someone in Ukraine, a foreign client may want to verify important information before travelling, sending money, purchasing property, or considering marriage. Ukraine Counsel provides confidential legal due diligence for foreign clients who need to assess relevant information connected with an online relationship in Ukraine. Our service focuses on information that can be lawfully reviewed and is relevant to the client's particular concern. We help distinguish between statements that can be supported, information that remains unconfirmed, and circumstances that may require further legal attention.
Online dating due diligence is a structured legal review of relevant information concerning a person or situation connected with an online relationship. It is different from simply searching someone's name on Google or social media. A legal review considers the reliability, relevance and legal significance of available information and identifies what can realistically be established. The scope of the assignment is agreed with the client before the review begins.
The appropriate scope depends on your circumstances. Depending on the matter, our legal review may include:
Identity Information
We can assess relevant identity information and documents provided by the client or available through lawful verification procedures.
Dating Profile Information
Information presented through a dating website or application may be examined where it is relevant to the client's concern.
Civil Status
Where legally possible, we can advise on questions concerning marriage, divorce and other relevant civil-status information.
Documents
Documents received from an online contact can be reviewed for consistency, apparent discrepancies and legal significance.
Property Claims
If a person makes statements concerning property ownership or assets in Ukraine, relevant legally accessible information may be considered.
Business Claims
Where employment, business ownership or professional activity is relevant, appropriate business information may be reviewed through lawful sources.
Legal Information
Depending on the circumstances, legally accessible court or other public legal information may form part of the review.
You explain the situation and what you need to establish.
We determine what can legally be checked, reviewed or investigated.
Relevant documents, information and legal sources are assessed.
We explain what has been established, what remains uncertain and what issues require attention.
Where appropriate, we advise you on the available legal options.
