About me

I head the firm’s Real Estate & Construction practice in Estonia. I also have an extensive background in handling M&A, finance, and tax cases. I am deeply interested in developments in society and seek to make Estonia an increasingly favourable environment for business. I expect that the government should trust its people and, in legislation, follow the principle that laws are made primarily for decent citizens.

Professional highlights

Building up the country. I have been with the firm since 1998, closely following the development of the region’s real estate market. What I truly enjoy is working on projects that create a foundation for innovative real estate and development initiatives.

Advising major transactions. Throughout my career, I have advised on several significant transactions in the real estate and energy sectors. Among the ongoing projects, the Tallinn-Helsinki tunnel and RailBaltic pan-Baltic railway stand out as two of the largest infrastructure initiatives in the region’s history.

Finnish expertise. With both academic and practical legal experience in Finland, I have a deep understanding of Finnish laws and practices. I have conducted transactions in Finland, and have extensive experience communicating with the Finnish Tax Administration on behalf of Estonian companies.

Heading office in Helsinki. For five years, from 2000-2005, I headed Sorainen’s Finnish office, serving as the primary liaison between Finland and Estonia.
