Passion for novel technologies. I advise clients on regulatory issues related to launching innovative services and products in Estonia, drawing on my strong interest in disruptive innovation and novel technologies.
Service and trade contracts expert. With extensive experience in service and trade contracts, including agency, supply, and distribution agreements, I have helped local and international businesses with trade deals and setting up operations in Estonia and abroad.
