Professional highlights

White-collar investigations, compliance and risk management. I have over 10 years of experience in anti-fraud investigations, internal investigations, special audits and risk management. My recent work includes serving as strategic project lead in the special audit of state-owned Eesti Energia and leading a major multi-jurisdictional internal investigation involving around 30 team members in one of the largest fraud matters in the Baltics.

Management liability, board liability and corporate governance. I regularly advise on management and supervisory board liability, shareholder disputes and compliance frameworks, particularly where legal risk has already materialised into a dispute or investigation. My work often sits at the intersection of corporate governance, internal controls, sanctions compliance, AML compliance, anti-corruption controls and regulatory enforcement. I have also completed a microdegree in risk management and internal auditing, complementing my practical experience in these areas.

Landmark and high-stakes disputes. My experience includes representing clients before the Supreme Court of Estonia, acting in a landmark criminal matter involving one of Estonia’s largest shipbuilding companies, representing the Republic of Estonia (the Estonian Internal Security Service) in a dispute related to assets seized in the Tallinna Sadam bribery case, and acting in sanctions-related litigation that clarified companies’ compliance obligations.

Public speaking, publications and executive training. I regularly speak at conferences, seminars and executive training sessions on white-collar investigations, governance, compliance, criminal and civil proceedings, management and board liability, and risk management. I aim to make complex legal risk issues practical and accessible for boards, executives, compliance teams and in-house lawyers. My practice also covers sanctions and AML compliance.
