Practice Areas
A specialist in EU and Estonian competition law, Piibe is passionate about keeping clients out of harm’s way and stand by the words of Benjamin Franklin: “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”.
Several companies that were dawn-raided by the European Commission in Estonia have received on-site legal support from her, followed by off-site legal advice in proceedings conducted by the European Commission.
With experience that includes litigation against the Estonian Competition Authority and the Estonian state ‒ both in the Estonian courts as well as in international arbitration ‒ she has advised clients on a wide range of tariff regulation issues.
In addition to filing numerous merger notifications with the Estonian Competition authority, she has ‒ uniquely among Estonian lawyers ‒ also filed a merger notification with the European Commission.
