About me

I am an associate and an assistant attorney-at-law with the firm’s Dispute Resolution & Risk Management practice in Latvia, as well as with the Corporate Crime Investigations & Compliance practice. I specialise in criminal law, primarily white-collar crimes such as fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and corruption.

Professional highlights

Criminal liability of legal entities. I provide consultation to legal entities in proceedings regarding applying coercive measures to a legal entity.

Money laundering cases. I provide legal assistance in matters of large-scale money laundering when funds held by residents of the Republic of Latvia or foreign countries (for example, the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus or Spain) in banks in Latvia are seized.

Legal research in the field of criminal law. I have authored numerous pieces of legal analysis, training materials and legal opinions on criminal law and procedural aspects (for example, crimes in the field of taxation and related money laundering, and crimes affecting the financial interests of the EU).

Compliance. As preventive legal assistance, I prepare compliance policies to prevent bribery and corruption for companies.

Applications to the Constitutional Court. I draft constitutional complaints and provide consultation to natural and legal persons on proceedings in the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Latvia to protect fundamental rights as defined in the Constitution, particularly in the field of criminal law.
