About me
As a senior associate in the Tax team in Estonia, I focus primarily on direct taxation. My academic background provides a strong understanding of the international aspects of tax law, including corporate tax, transfer pricing, employment tax, social security conflicts and VAT. During my master’s studies, I both participated in and helped coach the Telders International Moot Court team. I also co-head our Private Clients sector group in Estonia.
Professional highlights
International exposure. My previous work experience stems from working for an international advisory group in Luxembourg as a senior tax consultant for clients active in the Banking and Funds industry. There, I deep-dived into the world of funds, withholding tax reclaims, and Pillar 2. Before that, I practised as an attorney in the Estonian office of an international law firm, where my work resulted in recognition as a Rising Star in general corporate tax matters by the International Tax Review.
Comfortable with numbers. Even though I come from a law background, my work as a senior tax consultant made me feel at home in financial statements, tax calculations, and Excel.
Growth and collaboration. I am curious and eager to learn and appreciate great teamwork. Collaborating with clients and colleagues alike is what drives me. I believe that the best solutions arrive when people with different perspectives unite for a common cause.
