The team at TEGOS (Formerly TGS Baltic) is very experienced in handling a wide range of contentious matters. Chirag Mody brings expertise in civil disputes, while Paul Varul is very highly regarded for his strength in advising on complex cross-border insolvency cases, as well as high-profile arbitration work. Martti Peetsalu garners praise for his ‘strategic thinking and strong analytical skills’; he co-heads the practice with Mody and Varul. Other key practitioners to note include Indrek Leppik, who focuses on commercial and administrative law disputes, and Kedli Anvelt, who acts on insolvency litigation.
