Verslo Žinios has announced the TOP 10 Baltic deals of the decade, showcasing the largest transactions that have shaped the market during the last ten years. Having advised on nine of these ten transactions, Sorainen stands out as the clear leader among M&A legal advisors in the Baltics. We are grateful to our clients for entrusting their biggest and most complex deals to the Sorainen pan-Baltic team!

“These nine- to ten-figure deals signal investors’ confidence and trust in the Baltic market and our economies,” said Laimonas Skibarka, Sorainen partner advising on the Salling Group’s acquisition of Rimi Baltic. “We are happy to see that, after some slowdown from Q2 2022 through 2023, we witnessed two such deals in the Baltics in 2024. This year began with the largest deal of the decade, valued at EUR 1.3 billion. We expect to see a few more major deals announced during this year.”

“We have been observing signs of recovery in the Baltic M&A market since last autumn and expect activity to grow throughout 2025, despite turbulent geopolitics and protectionist measures across continents,” said Toomas Prangli, head of the Sorainen Baltic Corporate & M&A team. “Baltic ecosystems supporting the most active sectors—such as technology, life sciences, financial services and energy—remain attractive to both local and foreign investors. Our team has been active in major M&A deals and cross-border investments, both into and outside the Baltics. We truly thank all our clients for entrusting Sorainen with their most strategic transactions.”

We are proud to have contributed to shaping the Baltic business scene, helping clients overcome challenges and celebrate their successes.
