A Glimpse into Azerbaijan’s Judicial System

Azerbaijan’s judicial system boasts a three-tier structure, incorporating specialized courts to handle various legal matters. The first-tier general courts preside over civil and criminal cases of all magnitudes, with 86 city-district courts currently operational.

Appeal courts, totaling five, review appeals from first-instance courts on legal grounds without delving into the minutiae of evidence. The Supreme Court functions as the court of cassation, addressing cassation appeals from the appeal courts. For cases involving constitutional rights violations and law interpretation, the Constitutional Court of Azerbaijan is the ultimate authority.

Azerbaijan’s commitment to the Council of Europe allows for applications to the European Court of Human Rights within six months of Supreme Court decisions, provided they involve breaches of the European Convention of Human Rights. Additionally, administrative courts and newly established commercial courts, focusing on commercial and tax-related disputes, operate alongside the general judiciary. The military court system is a distinct entity within Azerbaijan’s judicial framework.

Unparalleled Legal Services: What We Offer

At ACON, our dedicated Azerbaijani attorneys and advocates offer services, including:

• Dispute Resolution: We represent clients in disputes with local and foreign business partners.
• Debt Recovery: We handle communication and correspondence regarding unpaid debts, creating tailored recovery plans and payment terms.
• Legal Documentation: Our team formulates procedural documents such as the plaintiff’s complaints and the defendant’s objections.
• Court Representation: We attend hearings at all levels of local courts, presenting allegations and oral arguments.
• Recognition and Enforcement: We assist in recognizing and enforcing foreign court judgments and arbitration awards.

Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Decisions and Arbitration Awards

Azerbaijan has signed approximately 20 treaties related to mutual legal assistance, simplifying the recognition and enforcement of foreign court decisions, particularly with countries like Russia, Turkey, and others. For countries without existing treaties, a case-by-case approach is taken, often requiring approval by the Supreme Court.

As a member of the New York Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, Azerbaijani courts readily recognize these awards, provided they align with Azerbaijani laws.

Streamlined Debt Collection Services

Our specialized debt collection services cater to foreign entities seeking recovery from local Azerbaijani counterparts. We handle various contractual disputes, including debts, loans, franchising issues, import term violations, service-related debts, and more.

We approach each debt issue uniquely, often resolving disputes and collecting debts without resorting to court action. Our focus is on reorganizing payment obligations, securing payment plans, and minimizing penalties and additional damages. At ACON, we pride ourselves on helping businesses recover debts smoothly and efficiently through pre-court dispute resolution.

In complex cases, we’re equipped to take legal action, including initiating insolvency (bankruptcy) proceedings and pursuing compensation for damages.
