Sorainen has been named Baltic Law Firm of the Year at the Chambers Europe Awards 2026. This achievement reflects the firm’s excellence across the Baltic region and is based on research for the latest edition of the Chambers Europe Guide.
Sorainen Managing Partner Eva Berlaus received the award on behalf of the firm.
“Today’s business environment is defined by complexity – from multi-jurisdictional regulation to fast-moving strategic decisions. Our role is not just to provide legal and tax answers, but to guide clients through that complexity, bring a broader perspective and make sure that our partnership with clients helps them move forward with clarity and confidence. This recognition proves the strength of our integrated Baltic team and our ability to combine legal and tax excellence with a deep understanding of our clients’ businesses. It also strengthens our commitment to continue delivering this standard for our clients,” says Eva Berlaus.
