LEXTAL
The Baltic Law Firm

LEXTAL is one of the leading full service corporate law firms in the Baltics. During the last decade its network of offices spread to cover the three countries: Estonia (Tallinn), Latvia (Riga) and Lithuania (Vilnius). Outreaching beyond its geographic area of origin, a firm’s office operates in Moldova (Chisinau), as well. Functioning in a rapidly developing environment, LEXTAL is a forceful and innovative company. The firm’s treasured clients benefit from the rich diversity of experience, talents, languages and cultures that make LEXTAL’s lawyers particularly adaptable and resourceful. The complete coverage of the region means that LEXTAL can offer customized solutions, which perfectly fit any given industry, jurisdiction and client. The company has an outstanding track record of getting deals done with their result-oriented can-do approach. The firm’s reputation being built on volumes of successful work, LEXTAL steps into the future with a mind open for challenges.

Giving a task to a LEXTAL lawyer means that the issue will, if necessary, face our entire pan-Baltic network and expertise. It does not however mean that the legal fees will be respectively multiplied. We are selling added value to the client, not the time. On the other hand, one pan- Baltic law firm should reduce the client cost and effort for handling its business in several countries. Benefits should be imminent to clients, who wish to complete a pan-Baltic transaction, but also to clients who use lawyers in their daily operations.

The work procedure is structured according to internal specialization of the legal team. Every team member has experience and skills in specific issues. In a larger project, any independently considerable issue is addressed by a lawyer, who knows very well the legal area, court practice, public administration, competitors and other stakeholders involved, and therefore may suggest or implement the most optimal solution. Such approach ensures the best professional expertise for every issue without legal fees for learning.

The same attitude is reflected in billing. The good practice requires that the client is informed on the input of each lawyer, as well as associated costs in the detailed report.

In rapidly changing nowadays environment the legal support must be flexible. Therefore, needs of our clients are treated individually, in order to find the best possible solution for every matter along with implementation of the cost optimization approach.
