Hailed for its ‘competent, quick and friendly’ service, the team at Sorainen works in a pan-Baltic manner, leveraging this to act in some of the highest-value M&A deals in the Baltics. As well as traditional M&A, the group ‘provides exceptional support to its customers in the field of venture capital’. Toomas Prangli is key for the group’s work on joint ventures and shareholder advice, leading the team alongside Piret Jesse and Karin Madisson. Mirell Prosa ‘knows the ins and outs of startup transactions’, Lauri Liivat is also a key name to note for advising on shareholder relations, and Triin Ploomipuu is another key contact.
