About

Provided by Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns advises clients across industries on preventing disputes and, when needed, represents them in high-stakes litigation and arbitration.

Dispute resolution is one of our core strengths, with a proven track record before courts at all levels in Latvia — including the Senate of the Supreme Court and administrative courts — as well as in international forums.

Our litigators develop effective, commercially sound strategies tailored to each case. Several members of our team bring technical backgrounds and deep industry knowledge, enabling us to handle the most complex and technical disputes. We regularly act on matters involving the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, regulatory investigations, and high-value disputes across borders.

As part of the Eversheds Sutherland global network, we advise on multinational litigation and arbitration, collaborating seamlessly with colleagues across jurisdictions to represent clients in cross-border proceedings.

We represent clients in sectors such as construction, energy, transportation, financial services, consumer products, and government-related infrastructure, and others.
