Advising German companies on market entry and activities in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – and vice versa

For the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Germany is one of the most important trading partners. Germany is the second largest export market for Lithuania; for Latvia, Germany is the most important supplier of machinery and motor vehicles and around 400 companies with German capital participation are registered in Estonia.

Our experts at the Baltic Desk have extensive experience in providing legal and strategic advice to companies from the Baltic States and extensive contacts in the Baltic States. We have in-depth knowledge of the legal systems and business cultures in the Baltic countries and have been successfully advising companies from the Baltic States on the German market for many years and can draw on a proven and excellent network for advice in other jurisdictions.

Furthermore, the Baker Tilly Baltic Desk coordinates business and tax advice for companies from Germany operating in the Baltic States.

We advise our clients in German, English, Lithuanian or Russian.
