Walless and Fort have announced their agreement to merge their Estonian operations under the Walless brand, while Walless will also strengthen its operational capacities in Latvia with the addition of the Fort Latvia litigation team.
"The merger of two experienced and ambitious teams is a significant step towards providing even better legal service to our clients," Walless Estonia Managing Partner Piret Kergandberg said.
The Fort Latvia litigation team joining the Walless Latvia operation has been and will continue to be led by Partner Sandis Bertaitis. "We are pleased to announce the expansion of our team with the addition of highly recognized dispute resolution expert Sandis Bertaitis and his team," Walless Latvia Managing Partner Kristine Gaigule-Saveja commented. "He will provide Walless' clients with a service that is truly exceptional, characterized by a deep commitment to addressing their needs and concerns."
According to Walless, "the changes regarding the Fort brand in Estonia and Latvia will not include Fort Lithuania. The firms in Estonia and Latvia will now embark on a period of active integration planning, working together toward the final closing of the transaction."
"We welcome this merger as Walless continuously seeks to become the top choice for both local and international clients for projects in the Baltics," Walless Board Chairperson and Lithuania Managing Partner Dovile Burgiene added.
