Founded in 1995, the firm has more than 80,000 cases on its track record, along with over 1000 M&A transactions to date.
Founded in 1995
Over 10,000 clients, one approach
We closely partner with businesses – local, regional and international – to fulfil our core purpose: to increase prosperity in the Baltic States and Belarus by helping clients succeed in business.
In working towards our core purpose, we adhere to the firm’s corporate values:
Client focus & business-mindedness: We help clients succeed by providing exact solutions for their business needs.
Excellence & innovation: We strive for excellence in everything we do, and everyone on our team plays a part in it. We excel through constant personal development and innovation.
Teamwork & sharing of know-how: While individual initiative and creativity are always encouraged, teamwork is at the root of everything we do.
Ethics & respect: Reliability, integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. We act courteously and respectfully towards each other and towards everyone we work with.
Diverse expertise, one business services system
Sorainen’s offices operate together as a single ecosystem under a single ISO 9001-certified quality management system. We use cutting-edge technology to share our experience and know-how between our offices, teams and sector groups. When our lawyers are confronted with an issue they can immediately draw on the vast experience Sorainen holds across all our jurisdictions, meaning they don’t have to spend so much time on research and can focus more on creating legal solutions that are just right for the client’s needs.
Sorainen employs modern legal technologies & AI:
Avokaado, a cloud-based legal software platform for automating contracts and know-how
Luminance, a form of artificial intelligence technology which streamlines M&A due diligence processes
A shared mission
At Sorainen, we are committed to making the world a better place. In order to make a difference, we support initiatives that we believe in.
Sorainen Estonia supports the international educational exchange organisation Youth for Understanding in Estonia, in addition to the “Let’s Donate Time“ („Annetame aega“) charity, which seeks to engage more people in charity initiatives. The Estonian office also has a long-standing cooperation with the Art Museum of Estonia, as well as Bethel’s Centre of Pastoral Care, which helps at-risk children and families.
Sorainen Latvia co-operates with and supports the activities of the Latvian Children’s Palliative Care Society. The Latvian office also takes part in the Santa Fun Run in Old Riga to raise funds for the rehabilitation of sick children.
Sorainen Lithuania supports the Vilnius International Film Festival “Kino Pavasaris”, and the staff take part in the annual “Let’s Do It” (“Darom”) environmental clean-up campaign.
An important goal for Sorainen is improving the economic and legal environment in the countries where we practise law. As a member of organisations such as bar associations, we often advise on drafting legislation.
In the Baltic States, Sorainen was among the founders of the local private equity and venture capital associations EstVCA, LatVCA and LitVCA, and is on a mission to build a viable ecosystem for capital markets.
