The Banking & Finance team of Ellex has been among the top local B&F teams for the last 20 years. Ellex is the leading firm in Estonia in capital markets and financial regulatory matters and has advised the largest number of IPOs in Estonia as well as on restructuring and acquisition transactions that have been conducted in the banking sector.
Our B&F team is also well-known for its work with large financing transactions and cross-border work (for clients such as Swedbank AB and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB). Moreover, Ellex has advised most of the financial market players in Estonia and has on-going, long-term loyal client relationships with the top Scandinavian financial institutions, including Swedbank, SEB, Nordea and Danske Bank, as well as local banks Versobank, Eesti Krediidipank, Inbank and LHV Bank.
Our team members have years of experience with new and innovative instruments and structures including:
- drafting of the Rules of the Tallinn Stock Exchange
- the first IPO and use of GDR in Estonia
- the first IPO on the basis of the EU Prospectus Directive in Estonia
- the first bond issue by the Republic of Estonia
Over the years, we have developed strong working relations with the key institutions in the field, including Nasdaq Baltic, the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority and other regulatory bodies. Our expertise is further evidenced by the fact that our team members are actively involved in the on-going development of field-specific legislative drafting.
