    ABOUT US

    Our law office was founded by Sworn Advocates Uno Lõhmus and Rutt Teeveer in Tartu in 1992. The law firm operated under the name of Law Office Lõhmus & Teeveer from 1992 to 1998. Since Uno Lõhmus was appointed to office as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Estonia and Rutt Teeveer was appointed a Judge in 2002, Sworn Advocate Mr. Andrus Lillo took charge of the firm.

Today, the employees of the firm include advocates Mr. Andrus Lillo and Mrs. Karina Lõhmus-Ein and lawyer Mr. Rene Varul. In Intellectual Property area, we work as partners with Estonian Patent and Trademark Attorney and European Patent Attorney Mr. Mart Enn Koppel (B.S.E.E., JD/MIP), who has gained ialuable experience from leading Estonian and US intellectual property law firms.

Our law office provides legal advice to both Estonian and foreign clients. The office has close contacts with foreign partners. We could mention close co-operation with law offices in Germany, Russia, Finland and Latvia.

We can serve our clients in Estonian, English, German, Russian and Finnish.
