Piibe Lehtsaar is particularly active on merger clearance mandates and assisting clients with the competition law compliance aspects of commercial agreements. In addition, she represents clients in abuse of dominance investigations and follow-on damages actions, as well as advising on state aid issues.

I am really very satisfied with her work. She is good on litigation questions and questions on the interplay between EU and domestic competition law.

She was responsive and flexible, she understood the client and the transaction quickly and with good depth, and we trusted the advice she provided.

She was very pleasant to work with, responsive and clear in her advice.
