Civil Law

Civil Law

Civil law encompasses many aspects of life, from contract agreements and property transactions to inheritance, family, and labor disputes. Unfortunately, legal conflicts are sometimes unavoidable, and violations of rights can have serious consequences.

LSA Law Firm provides professional legal assistance in the field of civil law in Armenia, helping clients defend their interests in court and through pre-trial settlements. Our team of highly qualified lawyers and attorneys has extensive experience handling civil cases, ensuring strong legal representation in even the most complex situations.

The company provides specialized legal services in various areas of civil law, including disputes arising from transactions, contracts, torts, insurance, labor, family, inheritance, and copyright matters.

Labor Disputes & Employment Law

Labor relationships in Armenia are governed by the Labor Code (2004) and related legislation that establish the rights and obligations of both employers and employees. Our firm provides comprehensive legal support in all labor-related matters, including:

  • Wrongful termination cases
  • Wage and hour disputes
  • Workplace discrimination and harassment claims
  • Employment contract drafting and review
  • Collective bargaining agreements
  • Workplace safety violations
  • Severance negotiations

Our attorneys have successfully represented both employees seeking justice and employers navigating complex regulatory requirements. We understand the nuances of Armenian labor law and work diligently to protect our clients’ interests while seeking fair resolutions.

Insurance Dispute Resolution

Insurance claims can become complicated when insurers delay, undervalue, or deny legitimate claims. Our legal team has extensive experience handling insurance disputes across various categories:

  • Property insurance claims
  • Health insurance coverage disputes
  • Liability insurance matters
  • Business interruption claims
  • Professional liability disputes
  • Vehicle insurance claims

We thoroughly analyze insurance policies, identify coverage issues, and develop strategic approaches to secure the compensation our clients deserve. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who can effectively communicate with insurance companies while being prepared to litigate when necessary.

Family Law & Inheritance Matters

Family and inheritance matters involve both legal complexity and emotional sensitivity. Our firm provides thoughtful guidance through these challenging situations with services including:

  • Will preparation and contestation
  • Estate administration
  • Inheritance rights protection
  • Division of marital property
  • Child custody and support arrangements
  • Adoption procedures
  • Guardianship matters

Under Armenian law, inheritance must be accepted within six months of death, and estates include both movable and immovable property. Our attorneys understand the special rights afforded to minor children and disabled spouses and work to ensure these rights are protected throughout the inheritance process.

Confiscation of Illegally Obtained Property

Our lawyers provide legal services in civil cases throughout the Republic of Armenia, including proceedings for the confiscation of illegally acquired property. However, to effectively protect the client’s interests in this area, knowledge of criminal law is necessary, as the basis for these proceedings is information about a criminal offense.

Our firm has specialized expertise in this complex area of law, offering services such as:

  • Asset tracing and recovery
  • Legal proceedings for property confiscation
  • Defense against unjustified confiscation claims
  • Representation in court proceedings
  • Negotiation with relevant authorities
  • Documentation preparation and submission

Additionally, financial and accounting services are required in proceedings for the confiscation of illegally acquired property. Importantly, the team of specialists at LSA has all the necessary resources to effectively protect your interests, including lawyers specialized in criminal and civil law, accountants, and financial experts.

Property Dispute Resolution

Property rights are fundamental in the Armenian legal system, and our firm handles a wide range of property-related disputes:

  • Real estate boundary disputes
  • Lease and rental disagreements
  • Construction disputes
  • Easement and right-of-way issues
  • Property damage claims
  • Co-ownership conflicts
  • Unauthorized use of property

Our attorneys combine knowledge of Armenian property law with practical problem-solving skills to address these disputes efficiently and effectively.

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.
