Jesse & Kalaus has brought on former Sorainen Senior Associate Mari Matjus as a new Partner. Matjus specializes in pharmaceuticals and healthcare law, competition law, EU law, contract law, mergers and acquisitions, and personal data protection. She also claims extensive experience in the field of competition law. Matjus joined Sorainen in 2010, and eventually led the firm’s pharmaceuticals and life sciences group across the Baltics and Belarus, while teaching at the University of Tartu on competition law.

Matjus received her law degree from the University of Tartu in 2009 and a subsequent Master’s degree from the same institution in 2011. She received a Magister Juris degree from the University of Oxford in 2012.

“I am delighted to join a law firm serving as a worthy alternative to today’s market leaders in terms of legal expertise and client service, and I share its values,” said Matjus. “I welcome the firm’s involvement in public debate as experts and commitment to supporting academic activities.”

In a formal statement released by Jesse & Kalaus, founding Partners Piret Jesse and Tanel Kalaus state their belief that the name of the firm is increasingly irrelevant to clients, compared to the strength and reputation of the individual lawyers that work within it: “Rather than selecting a law firm, the clients are willing to hire the best specialist in the particular field. That’s exactly what we are offering and the demand is increasing."
