Dispute Resolution & Risk Management
We can help you with
Expertise in constitutional, EU and international law
Our skills are proven by our track record. For instance, we played a key role in challenging austerity measures following the last financial crisis. We also served as experts during the Estonian Supreme Court’s deliberations on the constitutionality of the European Stability Mechanism. Additionally, we have leveraged EU law to contest national taxes.
Internal investigations
We conduct internal investigations for our clients and can help them cooperate with the authorities or defend them during government investigations. Our team covers a number of specialist areas, notably antitrust, anti-bribery and corruption issues.
Top-tier professionals
A big part of our work is cooperation with international law firms, both engaging them to assist our clients and supporting them in their work. What makes us stand out among all other law firms in the region is our excellently balanced development, with partners from all four of our countries included on the Legal 500 list of leading individuals and ranked in Band 1 for dispute resolution by Chambers Europe.
