Glikman Alvin Advokaadibüroo

What Glikman Alvin Advokaadibüroo does

Glikman Alvin Advokaadibüroo OÜ is a privately held Estonian boutique law firm headquartered in Tallinn at Kose tee 66/1, founded in 1991 with predecessor roots to 1951 through its founding figure Aleksander Glikman. The firm provides comprehensive legal services across litigation and arbitration, civil and property law, corporate and M&A advisory, competition law, bankruptcy and insolvency, labor law, administrative law, EU law, financial law, real property and infrastructure, and family and succession law. The firm serves primarily enterprise clients (including listed Estonian companies and financial institutions such as Rietumu Banka and Kredex) with multi-decade relationships, as well as private individuals for civil and inheritance matters.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through hourly and matter-based professional service fees, with no productized offerings, digital channels, or self-serve mechanisms. The active attorney team consists of three named professionals: Aleksander Glikman (Attorney Emeritus, in advisory role since 2016), Leon Glikman (Partner, practicing since 1981), and Ain Alvin (Partner), with occasional collaboration from Paul Keres. Leon Glikman holds international positions including ICC International Court of Arbitration membership and ICSID conciliator status, supporting the firm's international arbitration practice.

The firm's go-to-market is direct attorney-to-client engagement, supplemented by thought leadership through legal publications in Estonian business media and recognition in international legal directories (Chambers & Partners, Legal 500 Hall of Fame, IFLR1000, Which Lawyer?). The firm holds no external institutional investment, operates from a single Tallinn office, and has not signaled expansion through hiring, new practice launches, or geographic extension. Ownership rests with the founding Glikman family and partner attorneys in a structure typical of Estonian private limited companies (OÜ).
