Ellex Raidla's 'knowledgeable, responsive, and strategic' team is highly regarded for its expertise in international arbitration, a key area of strength for the 'creative, talented, and result-oriented' Toomas Vaher. Investment arbitration work is prominent in Anton Sigal's workload, and Maria Teder is highly experienced in handling commercial arbitration matters, as well as cross-border litigation. The group is equally strong in representing prominent domestic and international companies from a wide range of sectors in contentious matters, including the Government of the Republic of Estonia. Liis Könn focuses on financial services disputes, and Arne Ots' 'ability to distil legal nuance into actionable advice is exceptional'; the duo co-head the practice.
