RoschierRaidla network sharpens its brand to RR Alliance

30.09.2010

Roschier (Finland and Sweden) and Raidla Lejins & Norcous firms operating in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania announce the re-branding of the RoschierRaidla Nordic-Baltic network as a step in sharpening its brand. As of 1 October 2010, the combine will operate under the name RR Alliance (‘Double R Alliance’).

The RR Alliance, founded as the RoschierRaidla network in the spring of 2004, offers high quality integrated legal services in the Nordic-Baltic region specializing in demanding international business law assignments and large-scale transactions. During the past six years, the member firms have constantly developed their cooperation to be able to better serve their clients operating in the Baltic Sea region.

Axel Calissendorff, Senior Partner of Roschier says: “The concept of our Nordic-Baltic cooperation has proven a success from the start and the member firms have continued to grow and strengthen their positions locally. The strong client demand for ‘one-stop-shop’ access to legal services in this particular geographical area has encouraged us to strengthen our network and its branding further by taking the RR Alliance name into use. The alliance has a unique Northern European coverage and we are proud to be able to offer our clients premier cross-border legal services in five jurisdictions.”

“Much of the success of our joint cooperation stems from a shared in-depth understanding of the clients’ needs as well as highly integrated practice know how and joint competence development, enabling us to render a seamless service in all five jurisdictions covered by the alliance,” explains Jüri Raidla, Managing Partner of Raidla Lejins & Norcous’ Estonian office.

Today, the RR Alliance firms employ altogether approximately 420 professionals, of whom some 250 are lawyers.
