Solutions-oriented

I have been providing legal assistance and legal services since 2006. I work across various fields of law, but I have most often advised and represented clients in court in family law, property law, and the law of obligations. As a lawyer, I have also been involved in initiating and conducting bankruptcy proceedings for both companies and private individuals, and I have advised on debt restructuring matters. In addition to a Master's degree in Law obtained at International University Audentes in 2006, I also hold a higher education degree in business management and a specialised technical education. This enables me to navigate, advise, and give opinions on a broad basis in other fields as well. I am a member of the Tallinn City Council and its standing Legal Affairs Committee, as well as a member of the Mustamäe District Assembly and its various committees. In Tallinn, I provide free legal advice in my core areas of expertise. At HUGO OÜ (Eesti Õigusbüroo OÜ), I have been advising and representing clients from the very beginning, for 8 years now – more than 1,000 people in need as of 2025. My goal is to make legal assistance and initial legal advice as affordable and accessible as possible for economically less secure people, and to make the law easier to understand for those without legal knowledge – explaining legal options and assessing problems realistically in order to optimise costs and avoid pointless, excessive, and often futile spending on legal disputes.
