Central Asia’s Grata International law firm continues its expansion into CEE with the announcement that Grata Senior Partner Akhmetzhan Abdullayev had signed an August 26, 2015, Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation with Senior Partner Aldis Alliks of the Alliks un Partneri firm in Riga, Latvia.
Grata's launch of an associated office in Latvia follows close upon similar launches earlier this year in Belarus (with the Arzinger & Partners firm, reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 13, 2015) and Turkey (with the Isikal Law Office in Istanbul, reported by CEE Legal Matters on August 18, 2015).
Akhmetzhan Abdullayev, the Senior Partner of Grata International, said: “The excellent personal qualities and experience of Aldis Alliks and his colleagues determined the choice of the law firm Alliks un Partneri, as an associated office in the Republic of Latvia. Latvia is one of the key transit [and] transportation corridors of the Eurasian countries. Many of our customers consider the question of exports, imports, and investments into the economy of this country. And now they have a great opportunity to provide their business with the quality legal services of Grata in this jurisdiction “
For his part, Aldis Alliks said of the association between his firm — which launched in October 2014 — and Grata, that: "I am truly glad and honored that the Law Office Alliks un Partneri has been given a chance to join what I see as one of the next vital players on the international legal arena. This is going to be a great benefit and advantage not only to the colleagues, but also — and especially — to the clients.”
