Questions

Does my fund need AIFM registration?

If you manage alternative investments and meet certain thresholds under EU law, yes. We assess your fund structure and guide you through the full authorisation process with Latvia's financial regulator.

What is the difference between a registered and a licensed AIF manager?

A licensed AIF manager is subject to full authorisation and faces comprehensive regulatory obligations. A registered aIF manager falls under a lighter regime with reduced requirements, available where assets under management remain below the thresholds. We help you determine which applies to your situation.

What are key employer obligations under Latvian labour law?

Employers must comply with employment contracts, termination procedures, parental leave provisions, and salary structuring rules. We advise on cross-border arrangements and ensure your practices meet Latvian and Estonian standards.

How do I get an investor or founder residence permit in Latvia?

The investor route requires an equity investment in a Latvian company meeting certain size criteria, along with a one-time payment into the state budget. Additional conditions apply for the permit to remain valid. The founder route is available to those planning to create or develop an innovative product in Latvia through a newly established company.

What legal steps are needed to develop a solar park?

Solar projects require permitting, grid connection agreements, power purchase agreement structuring, and other regulatory compliance. We guide you through Latvia's renewable energy framework and manage the entire legal process.
