Following it's merger with FORT in early 2024, WALLESS has recently been involved in a number of high-value real estate deals, and is also providing general assistance to Lidl, a new client to both the firm and the Estonian market. Minni-Triin Park, who heads the team, is able to work across the full spectrum of real estate and construction matters and is supported by environmental law specialist Margus Kõiva and Kuldar Jaan-Torokoff, who is a key contact in the team for contentious real estate matters. The practice also benefits from the expertise of Piret Kergandberg, Angela Kase and Margo Lemetti.
