LEADELL Pilv once again highly ranked by The Legal500!

07.05.2025LEADELL

The Legal500, an international catalogue assessing the work of law firms and lawyers on the basis of feedback from clients and colleagues, has once again recognised our work in four categories: Dispute Resolution (band 2); Commercial, corporate and M&A (band 3), Real estate and construction (band 3) and Employment (band 3).

In the category of dispute resolution, managing partner Aivar Pilv has been placed to Hall of Fame (i.e. the lawyers at the very top of the profession, widely known and respected by peers and clients for their longstanding involvement in market-leading work), partner Pirkka-Marja Põldvere to Leading Partners (i.e. the strongest partners in their field, leading on market-leading deals and endorsed by peers and clients alike) and partner Marko Pilv to Next Generation Partners (i.e. junior partners with significant recognition from clients and peers in the market and key roles on multiple matters).

With more details soon coming up on our LinkedIn and Facebook profiles, here are some of the responses from our clients and peers:

  • ‘Highly professional. They look very carefully into the case and suggest the best option.’
  • ‘They show a commitment to understanding and prioritising clients’ goals and concerns, providing personalised service, and maintaining close communication throughout the legal process.’
  • ‘The firm was responsive and the quality level of the advice was very high.’

 

We would like to sincerely thank our clients for taking the time and providing feedback on our work. It matters!
