HETA Biin & Pihlakas attorneys render legal services in most of the legal issues.
Regarding the structure of the Estonian court system and legal system legal issues can be divided into three main fields (to read more of each field choose one of the following): Private law – matters arising from this field of law are normally resolved by civil courts, which in Estonia are the county courts (Harju County Court, Tartu County Court, Pärnu County Court and Viru County Court), the civil chambers of the courts of appeal (Tallinn Court of Appeal, Tartu Court of Appeal, Viru Court of Appeal) and the civil camber of the Supreme Court or Supreme Court en banc; Offence law – it covers penitentiary law, including misdemeanours and criminal offences, and procedural law, i.e. criminal procedure and misdemeanour procedure. Misdemeanours and criminal offences are in the jurisdiction of the county courts (first instance court), the courts of appeal (second instance courts) and the Supreme Court; Administrative and constitutional law – those form a central part of the public law and disputes arising from it are usually resolved in the challenge proceeding or in the administrative courts (Tallinn Administrative Court, Tartu Administrative Court, as well as the administrative chambers of the courts of appeal and of the Supreme Court). |
