Estonia > EU and competition

The group at Sorainen handles both contentious and non-contentious competition issues, including merger control, state aid and disputes before the Estonian Competition Authority. In the words of one client, ‘one of the firm’s key strengths lies in the team’s extensive legal knowledge across multiple areas, ensuring clients receive comprehensive, well-rounded advice’. Kaupo Lepasepp, Mihkel Miidla and Carri Ginter head up the team, the former of whom is especially knowledgeable in areas of competition law such as prohibited agreements. Lise-Lotte Lääne, who is experienced in appearing before the Estonian Competition Authority, and Piibe Lehtsaar are other key names to note in the group.

Estonia > IP, IT and telecoms

Sorainen‘s core strengths include portfolio management in IP, as well as advising clients on setting up domain names and assisting clients with industrial design matters. This client base includes retail brands and large technology companies and advising these household names often falls under the jurisdiction of practice heads Kaupo Lepasepp and Mihkel Miidla, who are IP experts. Miidla is also an IT law specialist, and is especially adept in GDPR regulation, while Lepasepp specialises in IP transfers and unfair competition matters.
