The Kiev office of the international law firm Gide Loyrette Nouel acted as a legal counsel for Chanel and Nina Ricci with regard to counteraction against distribution of counterfeit cosmetics and perfumes of these and other brands (82,495 pieces in total) in Ukraine. The lawyers defended the companies’ interests during all stages of the investigation and court hearings, and secured approval of the decision ordering destruction of all counterfeit products bearing the marks of Chanel and Nina Ricci. The court’s ruling was appealed twice; however the court of appeals upheld the conclusions of the court of first instance and the order for destruction of the goods.
Karl Hepp de Sevelinges, partner of the Kiev office, led the team, which also included lawyer Oleg Akhtyrskiy and Olena Stasyk.
