quick answers

What types of disputes does MOSTAR handle?
Commercial disputes between companies, contract enforcement, debt recovery, shareholder disputes, and employment disputes — all before Armenian courts or arbitration panels.
Can MOSTAR represent a foreign company in Armenian courts?
Yes. MOSTAR represents foreign-owned entities and non-resident individuals before Armenian courts. No local representative or co-counsel required.
How long does commercial litigation take in Armenia?
First-instance court decisions typically take 3–9 months. Enforcement begins immediately after the decision. Pre-trial settlement often resolves matters faster.
Does MOSTAR handle debt recovery?
Yes — both pre-litigation (demand letters, negotiations) and litigation-stage (court claim, enforcement, asset attachment). MOSTAR advises on the most cost-effective route based on debt size.
Is arbitration available in Armenia?
Yes. MOSTAR advises on whether court litigation or arbitration is more suitable based on your contract terms and counterparty profile, and represents clients in both.
