Not sure where to start?
When the brief doesn't fit a single discipline, we scope a custom mandate — partner-led, time-boxed, with a defined outcome.
Advisory built for businesses crossing borders.
From Tallinn, Estonia, we stand alongside leadership teams at the defining moments of growth and international expansion. From capital structure and market entry to corporate governance and operational transformation, we help businesses not only capture today's opportunities, but confidently build the long-term value of tomorrow.
Five disciplines, one firm.
Each engagement is led by a senior partner end-to-end and delivered jointly across our Tallinn and London offices. We do not subcontract, and we do not staff up to fill out a project plan — the people you meet are the people who do the work.

Field notes from the practice.
- operating model№ 001
What "operating model transformation" actually means
A note on how to distinguish a real operating model transformation from a rebranded reorg or an ERP rollout dressed up as strategy. Most of what is sold as transformation is one of the latter two.
Read note - operating model№ 002
The cross-border operating model that actually survives audit
A short field note on how mid-market groups operating across the EE / UK corridor structure their entities, intra-group services, and reporting cadence — and where most of them break.
Read note - capital structure№ 003
Capital structure for family-owned groups — the conversation most founders avoid
Family-owned groups tend to defer the capital structure conversation for ten years and then have it under deal pressure. A note on why that is the worst possible sequence, and what an early version of the conversation looks like.
