Sorainen
As a counsel specialising in employment law and personal data protection, I have been gaining experience in my key practice areas since 1999.
Sorainen
Sorainen‘s employment practice is instructed by a diverse range of multinational companies to handle employee disputes, terminations, restructurings, and compliance issues. The team has considerable experience representing clients before the State Labour Inspectorate and Latvian Employment Agency, and has seen considerable recent activity in the data protection, whistleblower, and immigration spheres. Andis Burkevics focuses on employment and data protection issues, while Nauris Grigals advises on issues with a nexus to corporate and M&A law. Māris Simulis is noted for his focus on ESG-related matters.
