Professional highlights

Litigation and arbitration. I specialise in resolving local and international commercial and investment disputes before courts and international arbitration tribunals, including related private law issues. I assist clients in matters of risk assessment, transactions and litigation related to arbitration proceedings, as well as in the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards.

Trade law. I specialise in the international and domestic trade in goods and services in various industries, as well as in issues related to the legal regulation of international and domestic transport, contractual risks, dispute prevention, and the application of regulatory frameworks. In parallel with my professional activities, I have also worked in the academic environment in the field of international business law.

Self-development. I am committed to improving my knowledge and professional skills by regularly participating in specialised training courses and industry events. I work closely with colleagues from other practice groups on a daily basis to address interdisciplinary issues and provide clients with a comprehensive legal approach.

I have been a member of the University of Latvia team at the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, one of the world’s most prestigious international commercial arbitration competitions. In addition to participating in the competition, I have also been involved in organising pre-moots and maintain close ties with the academic community. I participate in student educational initiatives, including the Sorainen Student Academy, sharing my experience of the legal professional and insights of practical work.
