Legal Support in Armenia
We provide everyday legal support for foreigners and foreign-owned businesses in Armenia — contracts, powers of attorney, certified translations, apostille and legalization — with bilingual drafting that prevents disputes before they start.
Who needs legal support in Armenia
If you sign anything in Armenia — a lease, an employment contract, a deal with a supplier, a bank form — in a language and legal system that are not yours, you need someone on your side who reads both. Our clients are Chinese, Russian-speaking and other foreign individuals and companies operating, buying property or relocating to Armenia.
- Foreign founders of Armenian companies
- Property buyers and tenants
- Relocating professionals and families
- Anyone filing documents with state bodies (OVIR, tax, registry)
Contracts and transaction support
We draft and review bilingual contracts — sales, services, lease, employment, shareholder agreements — explaining every clause in plain language before you sign. Where a deal involves a bank, a notary or a state registry, we coordinate the signing ceremony itself so nothing stalls on a technicality.
Powers of attorney done right
A power of attorney is the backbone of remote work in Armenia: bank account opening, company registration and many state filings can proceed while you stay abroad. We draft POAs with precisely the scope needed — not broader — and explain the notarization, apostille or consular legalization route for your country. Getting the wording wrong is the single most common reason remote processes stall.
Translations, apostille and legalization
Foreign documents must be translated into Armenian and notarized; Armenian documents going abroad often need apostille or consular legalization. We handle the full chain — sworn translations, notary appointments, apostille filings — and keep your originals safe and tracked throughout.
- Notarized Armenian translations of passports, certificates and contracts
- Apostille of Armenian documents for use abroad
- Consular legalization where apostille does not apply
- Verification of foreign documents before they enter an Armenian process
Dispute prevention over dispute resolution
Our philosophy: the cheapest case is the one that never happens. Clear bilingual drafting, verified counterparties, correct notarizations and documented paper trails prevent the vast majority of conflicts. If a dispute does arise, we coordinate with Armenian litigators and stay your single point of contact in your language.
Frequently asked questions
In which languages do you provide legal support?
Chinese, Russian, English and Armenian. Documents are drafted bilingually, and every clause is explained to you in your own language before signing.
Can I give a power of attorney from abroad?
Yes — most remote processes in Armenia run on a POA signed at a notary in your country, then apostilled or consular-legalized. We draft the exact wording and confirm the route for your jurisdiction.
Do you help with apostille of Armenian documents?
Yes. We handle sworn translations, notary appointments and apostille or consular legalization end to end, and keep your documents tracked throughout.
Can you represent me in a dispute?
We coordinate with Armenian litigators, prepare the bilingual file and remain your single point of contact. Our primary focus, though, is preventing disputes through proper documentation.
