EFTA Legal

What EFTA Legal does

EFTA Legal OÜ is a privately held Estonian law firm headquartered in Tallinn (Pärnu mnt 12) with a secondary office in Tartu (Teguri 51), providing professional legal services across the country. The firm primarily serves two segments: small and medium-sized enterprises that need flexible legal counsel without a full-time in-house hire, and private individuals dealing with civil, administrative, and debt matters. Practice coverage spans contract law, debt recovery (pre-court negotiations through enforcement proceedings), corporate law (formation, M&A, restructuring), employment law, data protection / GDPR advisory, property law, bankruptcy law, constitutional and administrative law, insurance law, and court representation from expedited payment order proceedings through higher courts.

The firm's flagship commercial offering is the "Interim Lawyer" service, which delivers in-house-style legal counsel on a flexible monthly retainer without requiring an employment contract. This is layered on top of traditional hourly billing (legal assistance from 110 EUR/hour + VAT; court representation from 140 EUR/hour + VAT) and tiered subscription packages starting at 900 EUR/month for 10 hours (with 20- and 30-hour tiers). A web-based legal consultation channel (Veebinõu) provides asynchronous email-driven advice. The team comprises roughly 11 professionals, including CEO Helena Kask, Head of Legal Services Armin Karu (prior CEO/board experience), Debt Recovery Manager Elari Arjakas, and several other lawyers and legal assistants whose backgrounds span the prosecutor's office, enforcement offices, and international in-house counsel roles. Underlying technology is conventional: a WordPress-based website, standard legal practice management, and human-delivered services with no disclosed AI or proprietary platform.

EFTA Legal distributes through direct client contact (website inquiry forms, phone, in-person meetings), content marketing via an Estonian-language blog on topical legal developments, and organic SEO across practice-area pages. It operates within the broader EFTA business services ecosystem alongside EFTA Accounting, E-Audit, Virtuaalne Finantsjuht, and VeeRa, enabling cross-referral for accounting, audit, and financial management services. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, the firm is privately held with no disclosed outside investors or funding rounds, and ownership/equity structure is undocumented.
