Biography
Andis Pauniņš began his legal career as an assistant judge at the Administrative District Court. For many years, Andis has practiced in one of the leading law firms in Latvia, where he was also an associate partner. Then, Andis was invited to establish and lead a dispute resolution practice group in one of the "big four" law firms. In early 2024, Andis founded his own law firm.
Experience
Andis Pauniņš has gained extensive experience in dispute resolution and litigation in almost all areas of law in his professional career. Extensive litigation experience gives Andis a deep understanding of what risks of inconsistencies, conflicts and litigation may threaten. The experience and knowledge gained enable him to help clients prevent these risks in a timely manner, both by preparing contracts for clients, planning transactions, and by providing various legal opinions or simply daily consultations. This has been appreciated by several business clients who have concluded not only contracts for the provision of daily legal services for companies, which include the development of internal procedures and documentation and ensuring liability, but also involve Andis in the provision of various larger business transactions - the purchase or sale of companies, the acquisition of real estate. Often, when arranging their business affairs, company managers also entrust the arrangement of their private legal issues, for example, in the field of family law and sometimes inheritance law. It should be noted that Andis has devoted a significant part of his professional career as a lawyer to litigation related to the financial sector, construction, insurance law, commercial law and tax disputes. Of particular note is the long and complex litigation and insolvency process representing AS "Reverta" and indirectly also the interests of the state in recovering several tens of millions of loans from SIA "Delfīns partneri" and other dishonest debtors. In recent years, the number of cases where clients have asked Andis to provide legal assistance in so-called "white collar" crimes has also increased - mainly related to the responsibilities of board members for issues within the competence of board members.
