years of legal work experience

Solutions-oriented
A legal problem often comes with uncertainty and stress. My job is to make a complex situation understandable, honestly explain the options and risks, and give the client a concrete action plan. Where possible, I look for a fast and reasonable out-of-court solution, but when necessary, I consistently defend the client's interests in administrative proceedings and in court. For me, it is important that the client receives not just a legal answer, but also understands what to do next and what results are realistic to expect.

Key Achievements
I am a lawyer with a Master's degree in Law and have worked in the legal field since 2000. I have advised private individuals and companies, prepared legal analyses and procedural documents, and represented clients in administrative and civil disputes.
From 2022 to 2026, I worked as the Municipal Secretary of Kohila Municipality. I was responsible for the legality of the local government's legislation and administrative decisions, advised the municipal government and council, analysed legal risks, and represented the municipality in court disputes. This experience gives me a thorough understanding of how state authorities and local governments make decisions and how to effectively protect the rights of individuals and companies in relations with public authorities.
My strongest areas are administrative law and administrative procedure, disputes with state authorities and local governments, civil disputes, family law, and social law. I help assess the prospects of a case, draft applications, challenges, complaints, claims, and other procedural documents, and represent clients in court when needed.
In my work, I value thoroughness, confidentiality, and human communication. I do not make unfounded promises – instead, I honestly explain to the client their options, risks, and the most reasonable course of action. My goal is for the client to receive not only legal assistance but also clarity, a concrete action plan, and support throughout the resolution of the matter.
I advise clients in Estonian, Russian, and English. I am a member of the Estonian Lawyers' Association.
