Sorainen was named Baltic-wide Law Firm of the Year at the Chambers Europe Awards 2023. The award recognises our law firm pre-eminence in key jurisdictions in the region. The honour is awarded based on research for the latest edition of the Chambers Europe Guide.
“Our Baltic-wide team has been consistently improving in all practice areas. We’re incredibly pleased to receive this acknowledgement from Chambers. I believe that the two key reasons for this success include our integrated approach across the region, and focus on client satisfaction,” says managing partner Laimonas Skibarka.
Biggest projects in the Baltics
The Chambers awards reflect nominee achievements over the past 12 months. They recognise outstanding work, impressive strategic growth, and excellence in client service. 2022 was a highly successful and active year for Sorainen, during which we advised key market players in both public and private sector on the biggest deals in the region. Examples include:
- Advising Bolt on their USD 709 million fundraising round
- Advising YIT on entering the largest ever residential to-let development project in the Baltics
- Advising Utilitas on inaugurating the largest onshore wind park in Latvia with a capacity of 58.8 MW, which nearly doubled the total wind power infrastructure installed in Latvia
- Advising Invalda INVL on the acquisition of Mandatum Life’s Baltic insurance business
Chambers Europe 2023 rankings
According to the recently released Chambers Europe 2023 rankings, Sorainen stands out as the most client-focused Baltic-wide law firm in the market. The research conducted for the rankings shows that our team is frequently praised both for in-depth knowledge and market-leading expertise.
Sorainen earned the highest Band 1 ranking in 16 fields across the Baltic states. Our Estonian Employment team and Latvian Real Estate and Construction team both improved their rankings this year. Sorainen, the only truly integrated pan-Baltic law firm, is now the only law firm with the highest Band 1 ranking in both sectors across the Baltics.
Across the firm, fifty lawyers received individual rankings, highlighting them as market-leading experts. Seven of our lawyers received first-time individual rankings and nine colleagues improved their personal rankings.
