Valērijs was also the leader of the “Anti-Discrimination Course” organized by the Council of Europe for Latvian judges and lawyers.

 

In addition, taking into account his successful experience in representing the interests of financial institutions in courts in civil and administrative proceedings, Valērijs continued to develop as a successful lawyer in civil and administrative cases after starting to practice law. In addition to clients for whom Valērijs provides legal assistance in criminal proceedings, the clientele also consists of insurance companies in complex insurance cases, as well as other individuals and entities who/that need qualified legal assistance in certain areas of civil and administrative law.
