Testimonials

‘I prefer TGS Baltic's employment practice over the employment practices of other top local law firms. TGS Baltic is faster, more pragmatic, and more agile. The firm offered solutions and strategies explaining the pros and cons. The advice allowed me to quickly make informed decisions, execute them, and thus resolve the issues altogether without wasting time, money, and, sometimes, reputation.’
‘Toms Tīdemanis is an excellent employment law expert. Toms led the prompt resolution of complicated and sensitive employment issues and disputes from engagement to termination, including employee transfers and collective dismissals, embezzlement, mobbing, bossing, and various employment terms violations.'
- 'Andra Rubene led the most significant employee transfers and collective dismissals and dealt with the most severe employment violations and white-collar crimes. Andra perfectly masters employment issues in the context of overall business or transactions.'
