Administrative Law

Administrative Law

Our company provides comprehensive legal services in the field of administrative law. We assist clients in administrative cases, both in dealings with state bodies and in administrative courts. Legal services in administrative law are available throughout the territory of the Republic of Armenia.

Our law firm conducts thorough research into any issues that arise between our clients and the competent state body. After assessing the situation, we attempt to resolve the matter out of court by drafting appropriate applications, petitions, and/or submitting administrative appeals through the hierarchical channels.

The lawyers at our firm have extensive experience working with various administrative bodies, including:

  • Police (including the Passport and Visa Department)
  • Tax authorities
  • Customs authorities
  • Labor inspectorate
  • Municipalities
  • Regional administrations
  • Community administrations
  • Compulsory enforcement bodies
  • State Real Estate Cadastre
  • State Register of Legal Entities
  • Fire Service
  • Sanitary-Epidemiological Inspectorate
  • Competent authorities overseeing urban development, mining, healthcare, education, and other sectors.

Additionally, some of our leading lawyers have previous experience working within relevant state bodies, which provides valuable insight into navigating administrative procedures.

If negotiations and administrative appeals fail to resolve the issue, our experienced lawyers file appropriate lawsuits with the administrative courts to protect our client’s interests. It is important to note that the administrative courts in the Republic of Armenia operate independently and professionally, enabling citizens and legal entities to appeal and restore their violated rights that could not be corrected through administrative bodies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can you separate your share in shared property?
The common property between the participants of shared property can be divided by agreement between the shareholders on the means and conditions for separating the share, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order. The separating owner can demand that the other participants of the shared property pay the value of his share. Instead of separating the participant's share in shared ownership in-kind, the other owners can pay compensation to that participant with the consent of that participant. In case of the obvious inexpediency of dividing the common property or separating a share from it, the court may rule on selling the property at public auction and subsequently distributing the proceeds among the participants of common ownership in proportion to their shares. The joint property can be divided between co-owners by their agreement, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order.
What property is considered joint property of spouses and what property is subject to division in case of divorce? Can the joint property of spouses be seized for the obligation of one of the spouses?
The property acquired by the spouses during a marriage is their joint property unless otherwise provided by law or by an agreement signed between them. The property of each spouse before marriage, as well as the property received by one of the spouses as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, is their property. The property of each spouse may be recognized as their joint property if it is found that investments were made during the marriage from the common property of the spouses or the personal property of the other spouse, which significantly increased the value of that property (major repairs, reconstruction, re-equipment, etc.) unless otherwise provided by an agreement signed between the spouses. The obligations of one of the spouses may be subject to seizure of the property owned by them, as well as his/her share in the common property of the spouses. In case of divorce, only joint property is subject to division between the spouses.
What rights does an acquitted defendant have and what damages are subject to compensation by the state?
An acquitted defendant has the right to demand compensation for damage caused by illegal criminal prosecution, application of coercive measures, conviction, as well as other illegal restrictions on rights or freedoms. As compensation, the acquitted defendant has the right to receive: 1. The salary, pension, allowance, or other income he was deprived of. 2. The damage caused by seizure, arrest, confiscation, or other disposal of property. 3. The expenses incurred as a result of being in custody. 4. The fee paid to a lawyer. 5. The paid procedural costs. At the request of the acquitted defendant, the body that initiated the criminal prosecution must present public apologies to him/her. Non-pecuniary damage is also subject to compensation, regardless of the pecuniary damage subject to compensation and regardless of the guilt of an official in causing the damage.
What to do if you are illegally dismissed from work? How to protect labor rights?
The rights of both the employer and the employee are protected in the Republic of Armenia. If you have been notified of dismissal from work on the employer’s initiative, first demand an individual act on termination of the employment relationship. The employment relationship is not considered terminated until the individual act on your dismissal is provided to you in the prescribed manner. Labor legislation and other normative legal acts regulating labor relations establish a special procedure for terminating employment relations, non-compliance with which or violations committed by the employer during the process may serve as grounds for declaring the termination of the employment relationship illegal. To protect your labor rights in such situations, consult with a labor relations lawyer. Remember, the legislation establishes deadlines for administrative and judicial protection of labor rights, failure to meet them without a valid reason may deprive you of the opportunity to protect your rights.
