TGS Baltic‘s employment group demonstrates ’professionalism and good teamwork‘ while dealing with a range of contentious and non-contentious labour law issues. Anu Kirss jointly leads the group alongside Triin Kaurov, who is praised for her ’remarkable experience, and very rational and well-considered solutions‘, and new arrival Indrek Ergma, who joined the firm in early 2024 following its merger with PwC Legal. Restructuring is a standout area for the group, and personnel restructuring a key area of work for Kirss.
