DEPTH OF FOCUS
In cooperation with our partners, clients are advised to assess an opponent’s financial standing before making a final decision on initiating litigation or arbitration. Where there is a risk that an opposing party may take advantage of lengthy proceedings by disposing of assets before a final judgment or award is rendered, our partners may recommend seeking and imposing appropriate interim measures.
GLOBAL PRACTICE
For those outside the shipping industry, the term “ship arrest” may evoke images of physical seizure, whereas within the industry it is understood as a legal procedure initiated by lawyers through the filing of a petition — one of the most recognized interim measures.
Through our network of experienced partners, assistance is available in both arresting vessels and lifting ship arrests. Such support is not limited to Latvia but extends across multiple jurisdictions.
With the involvement of the international ship arrest community, clients benefit from established best practices in ship arrest and release procedures worldwide, as well as guidance through applicable processes, documentation requirements, and time limits under various national legal systems.
