As a result of the dispute, the Estonian company, which did not receive the money, turned to the specialists of LEADELL. An engrossing fact in this dispute was that the legal relations of the parties were governed by Estonian law, but the dispute itself, following the European Union regulation on jurisdiction in cross-border cases, was to be settled in a Latvian court in accordance with Latvian procedural laws.<\/p>\n<p>It came to light that the buyer had delayed the formal signing of the purchase agreement, thus the LEADELL team worked diligently to gather and consolidate extensive evidence. In cooperation with experts from the offices of both neighboring countries, a claim for recovery of the purchase price debt was filed with a Latvian court. As a result, the debt was repaid in full and litigation costs were recovered in favor of the client.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3610-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loop autoplay preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/leadell.lv\/static\/success-story-quote-eng-2.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/leadell.lv\/static\/success-story-quote-eng-2.mp4\">https:\/\/leadell.lv\/static\/success-story-quote-eng-2.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would like to encourage clients to seek legal assistance also in cases where the documents of the disputed transaction lack the signature of the other party.
