    English Law in Commercial Transactions

    In a number of cross-border commercial and financing transactions effected in Latvia, choosing English law as the governing law of the contracts is considered and applied by the parties involved in these deals.

    Wide range of financial sector companies

    Strategic and financial investors, involved in mergers and acquisitions

UK as dispute resolution venue. Interpretation and understanding of most commonly used concepts in commercial contracts under English law. Similar and distinctive features of Latvian and UK legal systems. Brexit impact considerations.
