- Several types of disputes may be highlighted, which have become particularly typical for TGS Baltic Dispute Resolution team in recent years, namely, (i) representation of the interests of the Latvian state, (ii) complex creditors’ interests protection cases mostly related to struggling with the initiated recognition of transactions null and void to avoid fulfilment of obligations or the other way round turning against simulative transactions and (iii) corporate litigation; public procurement disputes and debt recovery are constantly in demand.
