About

Provided by COBALT

Our employment law practice is one of the leading players in employment-related legal matters in Estonia, with extensive experience in providing a full range of counselling, litigation, and compliance services to local and international business clients. We have the largest number of lawyers in Estonia advising clients in employment law matters – three primarily focused on employment law and 5 lawyers from other specialised teams assisting regularly on employment law matters (tax, disputes). Thus, we have the resources and experienced lawyers to handle the most complex cases in all areas of employment law, including a growing number of internal investigations related to harassment and mobbing, and complex disputes requiring deep knowledge of employment laws and high skills.
