Legal 500 Editorial commentary
Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- Kamilla Alma Vilderson and Hetti Lump Kivisaar both provide great support, where it feels that they are not just advisers, but actually working as part of our team.
- The team is business-oriented and helpful in finding innovative solutions (e.g., helping to find a different perspective that would suit the client's expectations in case the regulation does not support the business) while still providing very detailed legal analysis and pointing out the risks involved.
- Our main contacts at Sorainen are Kätlin Krisak, Kamilla Alma Vilderson, and Hetti Lump-Kivisaari. We value our relationship with them highly and can attest to the very high level of professionalism displayed throughout the years we have had the privilege to cooperate with them. One major aspect that I would like to highlight is the fact that they have seemingly effortlessly met and kept up with our internal deadlines, which sometimes may be quite tight. We look forward to continuing to work with them on current matters and projects we have in development.
- Oliver Ämarik is a hardworking and intelligent lawyer who is always ready to deliver the output I need for my purposes. Kätlin Krisak is very helpful and has great knowledge of the practice area, which makes it easy to discuss different strategies with her.
- They have extensive expertise and can take a business-minded, risk-based approach, which can be rare for a law firm.
- The team is very capable and always available for my quick phone calls or discussions. This makes our cooperation very pleasurable.
