with Estonia covered by Raino Paron, Marina Tolmatshova and Heili Haabu of Raidla Lejins & Norcous Tallinn office.

Raidla Lejins & Norcous is pleased to announce the publication of A Practitioner’s Guide to Takeovers and Mergers in the European Union. Partner, Raino Paron, Marina Tolmatshova and Heili Haabu have written the chapter covering Estonia in this comprehensive book which covers all 27 Member States and Turkey.

The adoption of the EU Takeover Directive and the subsequent passage of implementing legislation in most EU member states, should have created a level playing field for the conduct of European takeovers. However, the opt-out provisions within the Directive have meant that it sets only minimum standards and consequently there are substantial variations in law between Member States.

Raino Paron, Marina Tolmatshova and Heili Haabu’s contribution provides a comprehensive overview of the laws and regulation in operation in Estonia. The reader will quickly be able to grasp the key aspects of the Estonian takeover regime and identify differences in this regime to those in operation in other Member States.

A Practitioner’s Guide to Takeovers and Mergers in the European Union is published by City & Financial publishing. Full details can be found at www.cityandfinancial.com/tmeubk
