Key people in our team come from a public sector background and have experience on the highest level of the sector’s inner workings.
A fair balance
We are firm believers in a healthy equilibrium and have helped clients in various government relations cases. We have successfully advised several clients in relation to the legal framework of the sharing economy and car-sharing in all three of the Baltic countries. Our lawyers have represented clients in legal proceedings before the European Commission and authorities regarding the government’s plan to impose a tax on sweetened beverages and advised clients regarding restrictions on alcohol sales proposed by the Estonian authorities.
Code of Conduct
Legislation and policy decisions impact businesses and the general public. Our team helps clients, to the extent permissible under applicable law, to achieve changes in the law or vice versa – to help maintain the existing law and regulations unchanged. In doing so, we adhere to our Code of Conduct.
