Litigation advice for businesses operating in Uzbekistan.
Most commercial disputes are resolved without a hearing. They are resolved on the strength of the position a party can demonstrate if the matter does proceed, which is why the preparation of a claim and the conduct of negotiations cannot be separated from each other.
Digests Global Law Firm represents companies and individuals before the economic courts and the courts of general jurisdiction of the Republic of Uzbekistan, at first instance, on appeal and in cassation. We act in contractual and debt claims, corporate and shareholder disputes, property and construction claims, challenges to acts and decisions of state bodies, and enforcement proceedings.
Our work on a dispute begins with an assessment of the client’s position on the evidence available: what must be proved, what material supports it, what the opposing party is likely to advance, and what the realistic range of outcomes is. That assessment determines whether the matter is better resolved by negotiation, mediation or settlement, or whether proceedings should be issued.
We advise on the merits of a claim before it is brought, prepare statements of claim and defence, represent clients at hearings, conduct settlement negotiations, and act in the enforcement of judgments. Where a dispute engages questions of tax, competition, employment or criminal liability, the matter is handled together with the lawyers in the relevant practice.
