About me
I am an assistant lawyer with the Dispute Resolution and Risk Management practice group at the Sorainen Latvian office. I specialise in constitutional litigation, administrative disputes, and public procurement law. I also have experience in criminal law matters. I have assisted clients in several complex disputes with the state, including proceedings before the Constitutional Court of Latvia and international institutions. My professional interests also include politics, EU law, and human rights.
Professional highlights
Protection of fundamental rights of legal entities before the Constitutional Court. I provide comprehensive legal support to clients during proceedings before the Constitutional Court. I have gained valuable experience working on multiple constitutional court cases, including on matters related to property rights. I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the fundamental rights of legal entities and their protection at both national and international levels.
Administrative dispute resolution. I have experience assisting clients during administrative disputes before public authorities and administrative courts. I frequently assist clients in resolving disputes with contracting authorities before the Procurement Monitoring Bureau. In addition, I conduct extensive legal research and develop dispute resolution strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
Professional development. I participate in professional and academic development initiatives. I have participated in various trainings and conferences and previously served as vice-president in charge of professional development at ELSA Latvia. In 2022, I won the Prof. K. Dišlers Constitutional Law moot court competition and have since taken part in it both as an organiser and as a judge. I am also involved in political activities and regularly publish articles on a range of legal issues.
