The Baltic legal leader: COBALT secures the highest number of top rankings in Chambers Europe 2025

COBALT has achieved an impressive 18 Band 1 rankings in the recently released Chambers Europe 2025 guide, more than any other Baltic law firm. This demonstrates our continued dominance of the Baltic legal landscape, complemented by a highly regarded presence in 6 Band 2 practice areas.

Individual rankings and praise for commercial insight and legal excellence

Our lawyers have received 53 individual rankings as recommended practitioners. We are proud to report that 19 of our lawyers have achieved Band 1 rankings, with significant upward movement across our team. Especially noteworthy is the elevation of Edgars Lodziņš (Banking & Finance) and Elijus Burgis (Corporate/Commercial) to Band 1.

Clients consistently commend our lawyers’ commercial perspective and their ability to “be creative discussion partners,” “provide services of extraordinary quality, always finding time for the client,” and demonstrate “solid presentation skills, clear thinking, and an awareness of corporate politics.”

This high level of client satisfaction is further supported by testimonials such as:

• “COBALT’s strength is its ability to deliver.”
• “The team demonstrates excellent client service and is always available and ready, often at very short notice, to help resolve complex and sensitive matters.”
• “COBALT has managed to obtain top expertise in all areas. No matter the issues you ask about, you get unparalleled advice. The team is open-minded, super flexible and responds quickly.”
• “The team provides perfect responses when the situation requires that.”

Retained rankings: a testament to consistent leadership across the Baltics

We are particularly proud of our Baltic offices’ exceptional performance. Our Estonia office secured Band 1 rankings in seven out of eight practice areas, making us the top-ranked firm in Estonia. Our Lithuania office continues to excel, earning recognition for excellence across all eight practice areas. Moreover, our Latvia office stands out as the only law firm in the Baltics to receive Band 1 rankings in all surveyed areas for the ninth consecutive year.
