TEGOS (Formerly TGS Baltic)‘s workload often features shipping industry mandates, such as acting as counsel to the Port of Tallinn on contentious matters. Under the leadership of Martti Peetsalu, the group is well-versed in handling a broad range of maritime law cases, including assisting public and private entities with prominent regulatory issues concerning the shipping industry. Triin Kaurov, whose ’breadth of expertise is exceptional’, garners praise for her ‘deep knowledge of shipping and transport law’. The practice has seen an uptick in mandates from the aviation industry, often relating to public procurement and insolvency issues, in which Erki Fels has particular expertise.
