Law Firm Lojal

Holding two master’s degrees – one in Law from the University of Tartu and another in Political Science from Tallinn University – and having worked in litigation since 2004 across all areas of law, I still find myself discovering something new time and again.

It is precisely this constant variety that fascinates me most. The law is dynamic, and every case has its own unique character. The outcome of legal proceedings is often difficult to predict, and it is exactly this unpredictability that gives me energy and drive in my work. I am particularly drawn to complex and large-scale matters.

In my work as an advocate, my background in the public sector has proven extremely valuable. My experience at the Estonian Customs Board, where I began in 1997, and later at the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (Maksu- ja Tolliamet), has given me a broad and practical understanding of administrative procedures and decision-making processes. From 2008 to 2015, I served there as Chief Legal Officer.

My professional development has also been strongly supported by several years of work as a lecturer in human resources and law, which has further strengthened my expertise.

I have extensive knowledge and practical experience across several areas of law, with a particular focus on tax law. In recent years, I have increasingly worked with criminal cases, yet disputes involving public authorities remain a natural part of my practice. These may include matters involving the Tax and Customs Board, the Environmental Board, the Police and Border Guard Board, as well as municipal authorities.

I also continue to represent both claimants and defendants in civil disputes, including contract law, property law, inheritance law and family law.

My personal recommendation is always to prevent disputes wherever possible. I therefore advise clients to seek legal advice at an early stage, whether in connection with real estate transactions, division of assets, or other matters where a conflict may arise. I firmly believe that the most successful dispute is the one that never turns into court proceedings.

The best possible outcome, regardless of the matter or legal field, is always achieved through a relationship of trust between the client and their legal representative. It was this belief that inspired me to establish my own law firm and give it the name LOJAL.
