About me
I am an assistant lawyer in the M&A, Corporate and Employment practice, where I primarily assist colleagues with mergers and acquisitions and company law matters.
According to Art. 40 (3) of the Bar Association Act, lawyers do not provide legal services. Lawyers assist attorneys.
Professional highlights
Precision and efficiency. I believe that high-quality legal services are built on attention to detail, thorough analysis and practical solutions. It is important to me that clients receive clear and straightforward answers to legal questions that are tailored to their objectives.
Continuous development. The legal profession is constantly evolving, which is why I value continuous learning and professional growth. I actively expand my knowledge and skills through both academic studies and practical experience.
Professionalism and responsibility. I value reliability, high ethical standards, and a conscientious approach to every task. To me, professionalism means delivering high-quality work while maintaining respectful and constructive relationships with clients and colleagues.
Broad perspective. I believe it is important to contribute to the development of the legal system. As a recipient of a legislative drafting scholarship from the Ministry of Justice and Digital Affairs, I have gained valuable insight into legislative drafting and the work of the public sector. This experience helps me approach legal issues from a range of different perspectives.
Collaboration and community. I believe that strong professional relationships and active engagement in the community enrich both personal and professional development. As Vice President of ELSA Estonia, I have gained valuable experience in international cooperation, teamwork and project management.
