Law office of a sworn advocate · Latvia

In a complex matter, the decisive point is rarely visible on the first page.

I examine where the documents, chronology, flow of funds and actual conduct diverge from the initial account. From that, I build a legal position that can be tested—and a reasoned next step.

I do not work with the loudest version of a matter. I work with what can be proved.

Discuss your situation confidentially How I work

The first step is a conflict check. I will ask for documents only after it is complete.

When to get in touch

A matter rarely begins with a statement of claim.

The most important work often begins before the first response, the transfer of documents or a conversation with the other side.

A commercial dispute or material breach of contract

A counterparty is not performing, a claim has been received or negotiations have reached an impasse.

A claim against a company, owner or board member

Liability risk must be assessed and a defence position built before the other side controls the sequence.

A shareholder conflict, insolvency or creditor risk

Legal steps affect control of the business, its assets or the realistic prospect of recovery.

Criminal proceedings or a public authority decision

The defence requires scrutiny of evidence and review of procedural legality.

Interim relief, asset preservation or enforcement

Timing may be as important as the legal argument.

A significant property, inheritance or cross-border dispute

Legal, financial and personal interests must be managed in one coherent sequence.

How I work

From the initial account to a reasoned next step.

A claim, authority decision, contract or accusation is a starting point, not the whole matter. I separate fact from assumption, examine the origin of evidence and compare the form of a document with actual conduct and the economic substance of the transaction.

Strategy is not a loud promise. It is the right sequence of actions, with a clear view of the cost and risk of each step.

Objective

What do you actually need to achieve—a judgment, protection of your legal position or an asset, more time, or an agreement?

Evidence

What can be proved, what remains an assumption, and where did each material document originate?

Sequence

What happened first, when did the account change, and who controlled the information and decisions?

Next step

What should be done now, what must be preserved immediately, and which risk can no longer be deferred?

Reconstructing the matter

What I test before recommending action.

The turning point is often not a new argument, but a discrepancy that changes the meaning of everything around it.

01 / Origin

A document date does not by itself prove when it was created.

I examine when, how and in what circumstances a document was created, signed and made available.

02 / Control

The formal owner is not always the person making the decisions.

I compare the register and contract form with the flow of funds, communications and the parties’ actual conduct.

03 / Chain

When there is no single direct proof, the full chain matters.

I place separate facts in a testable sequence and look for what is missing from the initial account.

04 / Timing

Procedural timing may matter more than the loudest argument.

I assess what must be preserved or protected now and which step can still wait.

05 / Enforcement

A judgment has value only if it produces a practical result.

I consider recovery, assets and enforceability before selecting the strategy, not only at the end.

Practice areas

Where this approach becomes decisive.

When the outcome affects liberty, a company's finances, control, property or reputation—and every next step changes the position.

Commercial disputes and litigation

Claims, defence strategy, evidence, negotiations and representation before Latvian courts—particularly where the outcome directly affects a company or its owners.

Insolvency and liability

Protection of creditor and debtor interests, management board liability, legal protection proceedings and disputes involving insolvency administrators.

Shareholder and corporate-control disputes

Decisions, access to information, shares, actual control and an executable route where cooperation is no longer possible.

Criminal defence

Defence in criminal proceedings, scrutiny of how evidence was obtained and used, procedural decisions and consistent management of the client’s position.

Interim relief, enforcement and cross-border matters

Protection of the position and assets before judgment, enforcement of foreign decisions and Latvian-law matters with an international element.

Property and inheritance

Real estate, co-ownership, inheritance and other disputes in which legal, financial and personal interests must be managed together.

I lead the case strategy personally

I also test the facts that are uncomfortable for my client.

Andrejs Adamaitis · Sworn advocate · Latvia

“A client needs to know not only what can legally be done, but which step is worth taking, what it may cost and what risks it creates.”

I lead every matter personally—from the initial analysis to the implementation of the chosen strategy. My work begins with questions: what must be proved, where is it recorded, what happened first, and what is the other side likely to do next?

In the Latvian Bar since 2010. Practising as a sworn advocate since 2013. In public judgments and earlier professional records, Andrejs Adamaitis may appear under his former surname, Andrejs Krūmiņš.

Discuss your matter

Before our first conversation

Questions that deserve a clear answer.

A good working relationship begins with clear terms: what the firm will do, the immediate objective and how fees will be calculated.

Is my matter a good fit for Adamaitis Legal?

The firm is best placed to assist where a standard document is not enough: the financial or personal risk is material, several strategies are possible, the evidence is complex, or the other side is already taking action. A short initial exchange allows us to determine whether the matter falls within the firm's expertise.

Do you always recommend litigation?

No. Litigation is a tool, not an end in itself. We first compare the likely outcome, the available evidence, time, cost and the scope for negotiation. A well-prepared position may achieve more without court proceedings; in other cases, filing a claim promptly is the only way to preserve the initiative.

How much will the legal work cost?

Fees depend on the scope and urgency of the matter and the strategy selected. Before work begins, we agree how fees will be calculated and define the next stage of work. If the circumstances or scope change, we discuss this before carrying out additional work.

What should I include in my first email?

Identify the people or companies involved, describe the situation in five to ten sentences and highlight the nearest deadline. If there are many documents, there is no need to send the entire archive at first—we will identify the relevant materials after completing a conflict check.

What if a procedural deadline is very close?

State the exact date in your first message and attach the document that sets the deadline. Whether an urgent matter can be accepted depends on the conflict check and our ability to complete the work properly in the time remaining.

Does my first email mean that the firm already represents me?

No. A conflict check must first be completed and the scope of the engagement agreed. Until then, the initial message should not contain more sensitive information than is necessary to identify the parties and understand the nature of the matter.

First contact

What happens after your first email.

Identify the parties, give a short summary and state the nearest deadline. There is no need to send the entire document archive at the outset.

Conflict check

In your first message, it is sufficient to identify the people or companies involved. Please do not send documents yet.

Short initial conversation

I establish your objective, the urgency and the nearest procedural or contractual deadline.

Relevant documents

After the check, I identify the documents required and assess the available courses of action.

Scope and fees

Before work begins, the assignment, scope and basis of fees are agreed in writing.

Contact

Let us identify the fact that decides your matter.

In your first email, identify the parties, give a short summary of the situation and state the nearest deadline. After completing a conflict check, we will agree a time to speak and identify the documents needed.
