Legal assistance for founders and investors, corporate and commercial matters

We are one of the leading law firms in advising founders and investors in the technology start-up ecosystem. We have provided several prominent start-ups with legal assistance when raising funds from private investors and venture capitalists and have been acting as legal advisors to a number of investors.  Active cooperation with B2B tech accelerator program Startup Wise Guys, transcontinental network Silicon Vikings and the Estonian Business Angels Network gives Hedman Partners a thorough understanding of the needs of emerging companies and of their relations with investors. We have a strong focus on M&A transactions, labour law issues and corporate law in general. 

The level of expertise in the newer areas of corporate law means we have also been called upon to contribute to the drafting of new legislation governing the sector. This sets us apart from other competitor firms, as we are not only working within the legal sector in Estonia but also helping to define the new local legal landscape.

Our law firm has assumed a leading role on the Estonian legal landscape in the fields of intellectual property rights and commercial law, with a particular emphasis on advising new economy ventures and investors. Now we are one of the leading law firms in advising founders and investors in the technology start-up ecosystem. 

We have provided several prominent startups with legal assistance when raising funds from private investors and venture capitalists and have been acting as legal advisors to a number of investors and prominent accelerators in our region.

We also advise on full range of corporate and commercial matters, including incorporations, M&A and joint ventures. 

We have active cooperation with Startup Estonia, ClimateLaunchpad, different hubs and events in order to train the founders. Our lawyers regularly mentor and lecture start-ups. 

Our firm plays an influential role in the Estonian business and legal communities through its representation in industry bodies such as the Estonian Service Industry Chamber and the Estonian Venture Capital Association and the Estonian Business Angels Network. 

Our firm’s network of offices, which covers Estonia and Finland, ensures that we are well placed to advise on deals with regional components.
