Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns

Congratulations to the Foreign Investors' Council in Latvia (FICIL) on its 25th anniversary! From all of us at Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns we extend our warmest wishes to FICIL on this milestone! 💫   Since its establishment in 1999, FICIL has been a driving force in improving Latvia’s business environment. It fosters active dialogue with the government and advocates for policies that enhance the investment climate through transparency and efficiency.   We are proud to be part of FICIL, with our long-standing commitment and active involvement of our team throughout the years. Our senior partners Maris Vainovskis, head of the #Investment #Protection Work Group, and Ilze Kramina, head of the #Construction Work Group, and their teams have significantly contributed their expertise in such important FICIL initiatives as: 🔹Establishing the Economic Affairs Court to enhance efficiency and transparency in business-related disputes, 🔹Thoroughly assessing and improving the construction and real estate regulations, 🔹Leading amendments to insolvency laws and driving arbitration court reform, 🔹Modernizing Latvia’s commercial, civil, and administrative procedure laws, 🔹Promoting the reduction of bureaucracy to optimize government spending, and other crucial initiatives for improving Latvia's competitiveness.   We are deeply grateful to FICIL and our fellow members for their dedication, expertise, and passion in driving positive change! 🌱

Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns is proud to be part of shaping the future of aviation and the use of #hydrogen! ✈️ Yesterday, our team – Maris Vainovskis, Ilze Kramina, Kārlis Jēkabs Īvāns, Anete Gregersone and Kristiāna Bule – had the privilege of participating in a workshop on #hydrogen implementation in aviation, where we explored various aspects of integrating hydrogen as a sustainable aviation fuel and shared initial findings on the regulatory framework for hydrogen use in aviation. The event, hosted by BSR HyAirport project, Latvian Hydrogen Association, and RIX Riga Airport, brought together project partners from seven Baltic Sea Region countries – Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, Sweden, Poland, and Finland, as well as Latvian state policymakers from Klimata un enerģētikas ministrija/Ministry of Climate and Energy, Ekonomikas ministrija/ Ministry of Economics, and Ministry of Transport, and representatives from Latvian enterprises to discuss key challenges and opportunities in this field. The BSR HyAirport project is funded under the "Green Mobility" category of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme and aims to prepare airports for storing, handling, and delivering gaseous green hydrogen as a future energy source in aviation. We are proud to contribute our legal expertise to this valuable initiative and look forward to continuing our work. A huge thank you to all organizers – Martins Grels, Girts Greiskalns, Aivars Starikovs and others, project partners and participants for the insightful discussions, active engagement in case studies, and continued enthusiasm for building a greener future for aviation! 💫

11,8 x 3,2 metri neatlaidības, komandas darba un iepītu spēka vēlējumu! ❤️ Esam pabeiguši Valsts svētkos uzsākto projektu, nopinot divus maskēšanās tīklus, kuri jau pavisam drīz tiks nogādāti Ukrainā, lai palīdzētu karavīriem, kas tur šobrīd cīnās par savu brīvību. Šo maskēšanās jeb kamuflāžas tīkla galvenā funkcija ir paslēpt tehniku, munīciju, automašīnas un humāno preču kravas.    Maskēšanās tīklu sagatavojām sadarbībā ar biedrību "Tavi draugi". Paldies biedrībai par palīdzību, uzstādot tīklu mūsu birojā, sagādājot materiālus, kā arī ierādot mums nozīmīgās tīklu pīšanas nianses. Biedrība "Tavi draugi" nodrošina dažāda veida palīdzību tiem, kam tā nepieciešama. Par biedrības projektiem un iespējām palīdzēt uzziniet vairāk šeit: https://www.tavidraugi.lv/    Paldies katram no mūsu komandas dalībniekiem, kas ar savu darbu palīdzēja tapt tīkliem! Īpašs paldies mūsu Atbilstības vadītājai un lieliskajai "tīkla menedžerei" Guna Gailuma par nezūdošo iedvesmu un neatlaidīgo darbu, lai nodrošinātu šī projekta īstenošanu! 🤍
