Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Strong team with deep theoretical and practical knowledge of the relevant subject matters, which enables our company to efficiently conduct our business activities, while being fully compliant with the applicable laws and regulations. Dynamic cooperation between different departments of the practice ensures that any associated legal matters falling out of the main scope of the department being contacted, are also solved quickly.’
‘Kätlin Krisak has been one of our long-term contacts in the practice and has been invaluable in assisting us in crucial matters of our company's business, replying to our urgent enquires in a timely manner, ensuring that the relevant necessary tasks are completed in line with our internally established timetable and considering all our needs.’
‘Sorainen has a very flexible approach. We can use them as an extension of our in-house team, by contacting them through Messenger or through short ad hoc calls to double check ongoing questions. They even provide us with their templates from time-to-time. I think this approach for a major law firm on the Baltic market is quite unique.’
- 'Jane Eespõld is very thorough yet able to work with a wider scope if necessary. She has extensive experience working with regulated services and the financial services regulator.'
