Rene Frolov joins the partnership of FORT Law Offices as Head of Competition in Estonia

Rene is a leading expert of Estonian competition law with more than 10 years of experience in the field. His specialism is in antitrust (cartel and dominance) investigations before the Estonian Competition Authority, competition compliance in both regulated or non-regulated industries and complex merger work.

Recently Rene helped Eesti Post to secure a positive court ruling in a rare civil suit against allegations of abuse of dominance. Rene has also advised both private and public sector clients on application of EU State aid rules, e.g. represented them before the European Commission.
