Debt Recovery in the VCCA Arbitration Court

Representation of a UK company in a dispute with a Dutch counterparty under a staffing and service agreement worth approximately EUR 200,000. The complexity of the case lay in the fact that the contract provided for the jurisdiction of the English courts — a costly and lengthy procedure requiring subsequent enforcement in Europe.

Through negotiations, our team managed to conclude a separate arbitration agreement and transfer the dispute to the VCCA Arbitration (Vilnius), where the case was heard online via the ARBIS platform.

As a result, the dispute was resolved within just two months, and all client’s claims were satisfied in full, including the recovery of damages and legal representation costs.

Defending the interests of a client at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre

REVERA defended the interests of a Belarusian company at the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in a litigation with the major Malaysian supplier. To save the client's time and budget the dispute was resolved under the accelerated procedure with one arbitrator instead of three. Despite the absence of an applicable law clause in the contract between the parties, it was proved that the dispute should be considered under the law of the Republic of Belarus and the Vienna Convention.
