About me

I work as an assistant lawyer in the Dispute Resolution & Risk Management team, supporting my colleagues on a range of dispute-related matters.

According to Art. 40 (3) of the Bar Association Act, lawyers do not provide legal services. Lawyers are assisting the attorneys.

Professional highlights

Lifelong learning. One of the things I value most about being a lawyer is the opportunity to keep learning and growing. During my university studies, I embraced every chance to develop my skills — taking part in several local competitions, completing internships at law firms, participating in an international moot court, joining the Sorainen Student Academy, and attending a summer programme at Stockholm University.

Teamwork. I believe that effective teamwork and sharing responsibilities are key to overcoming complex challenges lawyers often face. When my team participated in the European Law Moot Court, clear communication and a fair division of tasks were essential to our success. It wasn’t possible to solve the case alone — listening to each other’s ideas and pooling our strengths made all the difference.

Welfare and integration. I have dedicated hundreds of hours to volunteering, from supporting programmes for children from underprivileged families to organising conferences that promote the integration of minorities into Estonian society. I believe it is important for a lawyer to maintain an open outlook and contribute positively to the community.
