Toomas Vaher: Baltics Litigator of the Year
Toomas Vaher, a partner at Ellex in Estonia, has been honoured with the Baltics Litigator of the Year award at the Benchmark Litigation Europe Awards 2025, held at the Waldorf Hilton in London on 17 September 2025.
This distinction not only acknowledges Toomas’ exceptional expertise developed over more than two decades but also highlights the commitment of our disputes team throughout the Baltics.
Toomas remarked, “Dispute resolution work is becoming increasingly complex. We see a rise in multi-jurisdictional cases, arbitration proceedings running parallel to court disputes, and an increased demand for strategic, business-focused litigation advice. We are happy to do more than just handling a case or two.”
The Benchmark Litigation Europe Awards celebrate the most outstanding litigators and law firms for their exemplary achievements. Through extensive peer review-based research and analysis of submissions, the Benchmark EU team identifies the most influential cases, the firms that handled them, and the leading litigators who have shaped the industry.
