Every merger and acquisition (M&A) transaction is unique, which is why RockBridge Legal law firm offers legal services individually tailored to the client’s strategic goals. Our experienced lawyers provide full support throughout the M&A transaction cycle – from negotiations and due diligence to closing the deal and post-closing integration.

Our team provides consultations and legal support to companies in situations related to customs controls. Geopolitical events and economic changes in recent years have intensified customs surveillance measures, leading companies to increasingly face longer and more in-depth inspections. In such circumstances, timely and professional legal assistance is particularly important to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the company.

RockBridge Legal lawyers provide client defense and representation in criminal proceedings initiated on suspicion of possible circumvention of national or European Union sanctions. We handle cases where the conformity of goods with the declared Combined Nomenclature code is disputed, or where disputes arise regarding the interpretation and application of Regulations No. 833/2014 and No. 765/2006 for the export and import of goods.

Specialists provide defense in pre-trial proceedings before the customs police and prosecutor’s office, as well as in court, including cases concerning the arrest or confiscation of goods, by developing a strategy based on a detailed analysis of the case and the client’s individual needs.

Our specialists provide legal support to companies in the process of requesting and obtaining Binding Tariff Information (BTI). Lawyers assist in preparing the necessary documents and represent clients in communication with customs authorities.

BTI, or Binding Tariff Information, is an official decision by customs authorities on the classification of goods in the Combined Nomenclature (CN). It provides legal certainty to businesses by guaranteeing a uniform and binding application of goods classification throughout the European Union. By obtaining BTI, a company gains a clear basis for accurate customs duty calculation and reduces the risk of potential disputes with customs authorities.

RockBridge Legal is one of the few law firms in Latvia specializing in export control matters, providing professional legal support to companies involved in international trade. We assist in preparing documentation, obtaining necessary licenses, representing clients in communication with state institutions, and ensuring that the export process complies with all regulatory requirements.

Export control is a regulatory framework of national and international legal acts aimed at preventing unauthorized export of goods and ensuring that they reach only authorized end-recipients. Non-compliance with these requirements can lead to serious consequences for companies – penalties, trade restrictions, reputational damage, or even criminal proceedings for sanction circumvention.

RockBridge Legal ensures that companies’ export processes proceed safely and in compliance with legal norms.
