SPILBRIDGE is one of Rīga’s most long term, internationally minded and focused law firms – for almost 2 decades, yet. Elīna Čakste, since 2008 a partner, studied law at Humboldt University of Berlin (LL.M.) and University of Latvia, Faculty of Law (LL.B and LL.M.), being specialised in both national legal environments. I appreciate her competence and qualifications in real estate issues. She speaks fluently Latvian, of course, but as well German, English, Russian. SPILBRIDGE has outstanding experience in special legal realms regarding the Ventspils region in Kurzeme (Courland), too. Expats, planing activities and investment in Latvia, should not spare the fair costs of legal counsel in order to avoid ever higher risks and losses. SPILBRIDGE is particularly embedded in the British-Latvian and German-Latvian business community
