Sorainen

Sorainen‘s strength in blockchain and cryptocurrecy matters is evidenced by its consistent assistance of clients with initial public offerings of crypto coins (ICO) in Estonia. The group also stands out for its deep bench. Practice head Kätlin Krisak has considerable experience in blockchain-based platforms and cryptocurrency, and is well supported by Jane Eespõld and Kamilla Alma Vilderson, who stand out for their knowledge of fintech regulation. Hetti Lump-Kivisaari often counsels fintech companies looking to set up operations in Estonia, guiding them through insurance regulations.

‘The fintech practice group consists of many strong lawyers. Kätlin Krisak is an industry expert and an excellent advisor.’
‘We get to work directly with the associates, and don't have to go through the usual partner barrier, who only handles communication. I thoroughly enjoy working with Jane Eespõld, who is a strong lawyer, and our main contact for all fintech regulatory questions, including regarding communication with the local regulator.'
'Kamilla Alma Vilderson is thorough, and has helped us to navigate the regulatory landscape.’
