Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Legal representation in arbitration courts and courts of general jurisdiction

The key practice of the BRACE Law Firm is the provision of legal services for representing interests in various courts and commercial arbitrations on commercial disputes.

In our judicial work, we deal with various types of litigation at different stages of resolution, including pre-trial and judicial (in arbitration courts, courts of general jurisdiction, arbitration courts, commercial arbitrations and other dispute resolution bodies). To the greatest extent, we deal with such litigation as disputes related to government and corporate procurement, disputes related to real estate and/or construction, contractual disputes, debt collection, antitrust disputes, corporate disputes, disputes on the protection of business reputation, insurance disputes, as well as a number of others.

Our advantage is our extensive experience in litigation, specialized expertise, and a well-coordinated team of lawyers. The specific features associated with specific litigation require an individual approach to each specific case and careful legal analysis.

Judicial reform, frequent changes in procedural legislation, including in terms of consideration of cassation and supervisory complaints, as well as many other changes impose on litigation lawyers the obligation to know and understand these changes, and also require greater professionalism of lawyers. We monitor and understand the complexity of all the features of consideration of various categories of disputes, due to the fact that we constantly practice and represent the interests of clients in various courts. Only constant practice allows us to keep our “finger on the pulse” with such frequent changes in procedural legislation.

Before choosing a means and method of legal protection, we conduct a deep analysis of the case materials, developing the most correct plan of action, since strategic errors cannot be compensated for by tactical successes, and from the very beginning there must be a plan and strategy for a legal position for effective dispute resolution. After the correct choice of means and method of legal protection, we act, making maximum efforts, to achieve the intended result.
