At Cobalt, large-scale property development matters form a key pillar of the practice, with the team often instructed in cases involving commercial, lease and rental agreements. Real estate transactions remain prominent in the group's workload, often involving the sale and purchase of commercial, industrial, and logistics projects; Aivar Taro is active in this area. The team is developing its expertise in advising on real estate-related issues in the Estonian energy sector, a core area of focus for Siim Vahtrus. On the contentious side, disputes involving zoning issues are handled by Liina Linsi. Sandra Sillaots is a key name to note.
