Our Dispute and Enforcement service provides a robust legal shield for asset owners, designed to strategically navigate and neutralize the conflicts inherent in property and investment ownership. When disagreements arise with tenants over lease terms, with contractors regarding performance standards, or with third parties challenging ownership rights, our primary objective is to protect your interests and achieve a decisive resolution. We manage the entire conflict lifecycle with legal precision, from initial strategic assessment and pre-litigation negotiation to formal court proceedings and the crucial final step of compulsory enforcement. Our approach is grounded in a comprehensive mastery of Georgian substantive and procedural law, ensuring that every action taken is calculated to secure a tangible and favorable outcome for your portfolio.
We champion a strategic and pragmatic approach that prioritizes our clients' commercial interests, recognizing that litigation should be a final resort. Our first course of action involves deploying effective Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. This begins with principled negotiation and formal mediation, aiming to secure cost-effective settlements that avoid the time and expense of court. For more complex commercial matters, we are highly experienced in arbitration as governed by the Law of Georgia on Arbitration. We advise clients on the strategic advantages of arbitration, including its confidentiality, the ability to select expert arbitrators, and the streamlined international enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention, to which Georgia is a party, a crucial factor for our international clientele.
When formal litigation becomes the necessary path, our firm provides vigorous and experienced representation in the civil courts of Georgia. We meticulously navigate every stage of the judicial process as defined by the Civil Procedure Code of Georgia. This includes drafting and filing a legally precise statement of claim, managing the preparatory hearing and evidence submission phases, and presenting compelling arguments during the main hearing and any subsequent appeals. We have a proven track record in handling complex asset-related conflicts, including claims for damages from faulty construction, disputes over commercial lease agreements, and legal actions to resolve boundary disputes or quiet title, ensuring your case is presented with the utmost diligence and strength.
A significant portion of property disputes involves landlord-tenant issues, and we offer specialized expertise in this area. We provide assertive representation to enforce the terms of lease agreements, addressing common issues such as non-payment of rent, unauthorized property alterations, or other material breaches of contract. Our process is strictly compliant with the Civil Code of Georgia, beginning with the issuance of formal default notices and, when necessary, proceeding with legal action for rent arrears and lawful eviction. We manage the entire eviction process through the courts, ensuring that your rights as a property owner are upheld and that your asset is recovered efficiently and legally.
A favorable judgment or arbitral award is merely a declaration of rights; its true value lies in its enforcement. Our service extends beyond the courtroom to ensure that legal decisions are converted into concrete results. We manage the entire post-judgment process by initiating proceedings with the National Bureau of Enforcement of Georgia, as mandated by the Law on Enforcement Proceedings. Our team works directly with enforcement officers to file the writ of execution and ensure the court's decision is executed without delay. This includes overseeing all necessary enforcement actions, such as coordinating the lawful eviction of non-compliant tenants, freezing debtor bank accounts, placing liens on property, and managing the seizure of assets to satisfy your claim, thereby ensuring your legal victory translates into a tangible financial recovery.
