Did You Know that, according to the Activity Rankings function of the CEELMDirect website, Sorainen Partner Rudolfs Engelis has worked on 16 reported Latvian Banking & Finance deals since 2013 – far and away the most of any lawyer in Latvia?

Indeed, Engelis is the only lawyer in double digits. A four-way tie for second place exists between Cobalt's Gatis Flinters, TGS Baltic’s Inese Hazenfusa, and two lawyers based in other jurisdictions – Cobalt's Kristel Raidla-Talur (in Estonia), and Sorainen's Tomas Kontautas (in Latvia) – each of whom has worked on seven reported Banking & Finance deals in Latvia over the past nine years, with Sorainen's Eva Berlaus alone in sixth place with six.

The top ten is filled out by Cobalt's Sandija Novicka, who has worked on five reported Banking & Finance deals in Latvia, and Ellex’s Valters Diure, Cobalt Estonia’s Karina Paatsi, and Sorainen Estonia’s Reimo Hammerberg, each of whom has worked on four.
