Advokatuurid

Advokatuurid refers to law firms or legal practices in Estonia. These entities are comprised of one or more advocates (lawyers) who provide legal services to individuals and businesses. The Estonian Bar Association is the professional organization that regulates advocates and advokatuurid, ensuring adherence to ethical standards and professional conduct. Advocates practicing within an advokatuur are authorized to represent clients in court, offer legal advice, draft legal documents, and perform other legal tasks. The establishment and operation of advokatuurid are governed by specific legislation, including the Attorneys Act. Membership in the Estonian Bar Association is mandatory for all practicing advocates. These firms play a crucial role in the Estonian legal system by providing access to legal representation and expertise. The services offered by advokatuurid cover a wide range of legal areas, such as civil law, criminal law, administrative law, and commercial law.
