Court proceedings are often the final step after other solutions have been exhausted — and it is in court that the outcome of a case is decided. The result frequently depends not only on the facts but also on the correct strategy, timely action, and precisely prepared procedural documents. We represent clients at every stage of litigation and always begin by assessing whether the objective can be achieved more quickly and at a lower cost outside court.
We represent clients in civil, administrative, and criminal cases, as well as in other dispute resolution proceedings.
The law firm provides daily assistance with:
Litigation strategy. Before initiating proceedings, we assess the prospects of the case, the risks, and the potential costs, and develop a clear course of action. An honest assessment at the outset enables the client to make an informed decision on whether to proceed to court, seek a settlement, or pursue another solution.
Procedural documents. We prepare statements of claim, explanations, appeals and cassation appeals, applications for interim protection, and other procedural documents, while observing procedural deadlines, failure to comply with which may result in the loss of further rights.
Representation at all levels of court. We protect clients’ interests at every stage and level of litigation, from case preparation and proceedings before the court of first instance to appeal and cassation proceedings, as well as during the enforcement of judgments.
Out-of-court solutions. Where it serves the client’s interests, we achieve solutions through negotiations, settlement, or mediation, which is often faster and less expensive than prolonged litigation.
Types of cases in which we provide representation
In civil cases — property disputes, contractual disputes, debt recovery, real estate, construction, and other civil law matters. In administrative cases — disputes with state and municipal authorities, including the contesting and appeal of administrative acts and disputes with the State Revenue Service concerning the calculation of taxes and duties. In criminal cases — providing defence and representing victims in property-related offences. We also provide representation in other dispute resolution proceedings, including out-of-court proceedings.
Practical approach:
We begin by assessing the case and the evidence in order to clearly explain the client’s prospects and risks. On this basis, we develop a litigation strategy and an action plan. Throughout the proceedings, the client receives clear information about the progress of the case and the next steps — without unnecessary legal jargon.
Latvian legal framework
Court proceedings in Latvia are governed by procedural laws: civil cases by the Civil Procedure Law, administrative cases by the Administrative Procedure Law, and criminal cases by the Criminal Procedure Law. Each of these laws establishes different deadlines, levels of jurisdiction, and procedural requirements, strict compliance with which is often decisive for the outcome of a case.
