Our team of professionals in the M & A area offers highly specialized advice on investment and divestment operations, corporate restructuring and structural modifications of companies, advising both industrial and financial investors, companies and their management teams. We also provide legal advice in conducting due diligence processes, drafting partnership agreements, business collaboration agreements, planning of corporate structures and financing operations.   We provide legal support in the negotiation, review and drafting of any type of intellectual property right contracts, including exploitation and assignment of rights, obtaining domain names, conflicts of domain names, legal protection of databases, web pages and digital content. At HEDMAN PARTNERS, together with technology experts, we created a method in which the illegal exchange of content can be reduced by a considerable scale. Together with our partners, we control all peer networks and intervene in the illegal exchange of their content through economic sanctions in several European countries.   HEDMAN PARTNERS has more than 40 years of experience in advising start-ups, business angel syndicates, accelerators and venture capitalists. We have tight co-operation with leading start-up hubs in Finland, Baltics and Russia, providing extensive coverage of the technology innovation ecosystem and start-up deal flow in the region.   In addition, we have an office in Tallinn, established in 1992. The Tallinn office has been advising several leading Finnish and international companies in their acquisitions and other business matters in Estonia. Our clients, both domestic and international, operate in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, wholesale, technology, logistics and financial institutions.   We strive to have a strong advisory role to provide solid business solutions to our clients, with a clear focus in maintaining integrity. As opposed to solely identifying challenges and preventing business, we create alternative paths to sustainable business operations in compliance with applicable regulation. Our risk- based approach relies on evaluation of risks and risk factors, providing alternatives and risk mitigation solutions and thus ensuring informed decision-making.
