Associate

As a member of the firm’s Competition & Regulatory team, Vladislav deals with a diverse spectrum of matters that range from drafting various sector-specific agreements to helping the clients keep their business in compliance with the local legislation. In addition, he has comprehensive knowledge of Estonian and European Union company law and corporate governance. He believes that keeping a positive attitude and pushing past your comfort zone is the essence of what makes a good lawyer.

Broad experience. During his student years, Vladislav undertook numerous internships in both public and private sectors locally and abroad. In particular, he interned at the Estonian Ministry of Justice and at a business law firm in Brussels. He used to work full-time for the firm’s Corporate and M&A practice area, where he helped several international clients set up business in Estonia, having been involved in the entire establishment process as well as having dealt with post‑establishment matters.

Education first. Vladislav graduated with a master’s degree from the University of Tartu. Throughout his studies, he took part in various legal courses in Tallinn, Nicosia, and Vienna. That said, spending a semester abroad at Ghent University was undoubtedly the highlight of his academic experience. Exchange studies helped him acquire deeper knowledge in the fields of European Union, corporate, and transport law. Besides, he studied project management and obtained basic Dutch and French language skills.

Thinking big. His interest lies above all with European Union law. Ever since studying abroad he greatly values the well-formed legislation of the European Union and appreciates the knowledge he is able to obtain from those with different cultural and social backgrounds. By nature, he is a huge energy and technology enthusiast. His master thesis focused on legal challenges that arise from the implementation of personalized pricing in online marketplaces. He is inspired by how the current law is challenged by the latest technological solutions and does his best to keep updated with recent developments in that field.
