TGS Baltic maintains a knowledgeable and specialised disputes team, with extensive experience assisting clients with a wide variety of business and trade-related disputes across a range of jurisdictions. The breadth of knowledge is evidenced by the range of sectors the group engages with, including, banking, transportation, private wealth, energy, education, and real estate. Noticeably, the firm offers a specific focus on sports law, with the expert team representing national and global figures. Co-practice head Ivars Grunte is well-regarded with decades of experience, and leads the team alongside Sandis Petrovičs. The team benefits from the experienced support offered by partners Linda Štrause (real estate practice head) and Agnese Hartpenga (energy practice head).
