WALLESS has strengthened as a result of merging with FORT in 2024. This is notably in relation to its team depth, but also in relation to its ability to handle major, complex financing and capital markets transactions, such as bond issuances. The firm fields a team which is described by one client as ‘pragmatic, efficient and great subject matter experts’. Team head Andres Siigur leads the team alongside former managing partner Hannes Vallikivi whose broad practice spans regulatory matters, derivatives, structured finance, acquisition finance and project finance transactions. Kaisa Saarmann is another key contact.
