Ellex advises on a wide range of employment issues and is well prepared to help our clients meet the challenges of today’s global workforce. The team is highly adept at providing a broad spectrum of employment services to corporate clients, including representation in employment disputes and in the supervisory state institutions. We take our clients through the maze of administrative regulations, local legislation and EU policies with respect to relocating employees and their families. Our experts can advise on immigration requirements, employment regulation, tax and other related matters.

We mainly specialize in advising big international corporations in M&A and restructuring cases regarding employment matters. We assist clients by performing employment due diligence in the acquisition process and providing legal advice in relation to post-transaction employment issues (including restructuring, termination, internal policies).

  • Ellex is a member of the Employment Law Alliance (ELA), a highly selective global network of independent law firms specializing in employment and labour law.

  • We are the only law firm in Estonia that has held a leading role in drafting the new Estonian Employment Contracts Act as well as the Commercial Code – both are key acts regulating the field of employment law in Estonia.
