Commercial, corporate and M&A

Ellex

Ellex handles classic M&A transactions adeptly, both in Estonia and internationally, as well as being well equipped to handle a range of corporate governance matters, private equity capital investments, joint ventures, private equity and management buy-outs and restructuring processes. Risto Vahimets, who clients regularly come to for company valuations, and Antti Perli lead the team. The latter is key for corporate matters in the venture capital and emerging technology spaces, while Sven Papp is key for the group’s corporate governance matters, and Ermo Kosk is especially knowledgeable in cross-border acquisitions, financings and takeovers.
