I am an attorney since 2013 and I provide top-notch and flexible legal services in specific fields and sectors. Having previously worked extensively in a leading Estonian law firm, I understand the significance of delivering professional services, client-centeredness, and absolute dedication to my field.   Nowadays, success can't be achieved by just knowing something, but delving deep into clients' and one's field provides a true competitive advantage.

I am one of the most recognized lawyers in Estonia in the field of public procurement, advising both contracting authorities and entrepreneurs from the development of procurement procedures to representation in court disputes. I have conducted numerous procurement proceedings, possessing practical experience as a lawyer working for the contracting authority and advising companies participating in tenders. I also have extensive knowledge and experience in other administrative law disputes. Therefore, I am a reliable partner for both the public and private sector.

In the field of public procurement law, I am a respected speaker and one of the authors of the commented publication on the Estonian Public Procurement Act. I maintain the only procurement blog Riigihankeblogi and podcast in Estonia since 2019.

Since 2025, I am a member of the management board of the Estonian Bar Association.
