Dispute Resolution

Practical advice in dispute resolution

Glimstedt has extensive experience in resolving disputes at national and international level. We represent Estonian and foreign companies, organisations, public authorities, and state- and municipality-owned companies in commercial and administrative matters. Close cooperation between our practice groups allows us to handle disputes involving several areas of law, industries or jurisdictions. Our lawyers also have substantial experience in commercial arbitration.

Strategy, evidence and commercial objectives

Effective dispute resolution requires early assessment of the legal position, available evidence and strategic options. Even a strong legal position must be considered in light of costs, enforceability, business relationships and the potential impact of proceedings on the client’s operations.

We advise clients on dispute strategy, available remedies and the appropriate course of action, taking into account both legal considerations and commercial objectives. Where appropriate, we conduct settlement negotiations and represent clients before Estonian courts, arbitral tribunals and other competent bodies.
