As American Latvian he shared his path of life which eventually led him to Latvia during the times of change in 1990s and how various coincidences resulted him participating in a foundation of a law firm. We addressed such questions as how hard or easy at that time was to become a lawyer in Latvia with U.S. legal background, what it takes to work in M&A and how to always stay trustful to your gut feeling and stay positive no matter what!
