Commercial Agreements

Commercial law is one of the centerpieces of COBALT’s activities. We provide broad and comprehensive advice to clients in all industrial sectors. Historically, our focus area has been top international and regional businesses, financial institutions, and the region’s most promising start-ups doing business in the Baltics.

Our experience in the area of commercial law ranges from drafting simple supply agreements to negotiating and structuring complex multi-million euro projects across jurisdictions and involving multiple substantive areas of law.

We provide seamless commercial law services in a wide range of areas, including international sales transactions, supply, distribution, agency, dealer and franchise agreements, and consultancy and outsourcing arrangements.
