Ellex Raidla has an excellent reputation across the Baltic region for its strength in supporting clients on the whole lifecycle of real estate and construction development projects. The group routinely represents multi-national companies with Estonian operations in mandates, including assisting energy, IT and infrastructure entities with construction matters and advising on commercial agreements. Martin Käerdi, who is well-versed in handling the real estate aspects of M&A deals, and environmental and planning law expert Martin Triipan co-head the practice. Jaanus Ikla is very active in the real estate sector, as is Risto Vahimets, who focuses on real estate finance work. Ermo Kosk brings experience in cross-border M&A matters, and is well-placed to represent buyers and sellers in large-scale real estate transactions.
