In addition, Martin is active in legislative drafting — he has participated in the codification of the Estonian Environmental Law and has written on various environmental law-related issues in a number of local and international publications.

Martin Triipan was awarded the title Lawyer of the Year at the Estonian Bar Association’s 100th anniversary ceremony in 2019.

Martin Triipan has a busy practice in the real estate space, with recent work advising on transactions, construction and planning matters in connection with energy and transport infrastructure projects. He is also well placed to act on contentious mandates, with a proven track record in handling real estate disputes.

Juridica: "How Long Should Waste be Tracked? By-products and End-of-waste Status"
In the field of waste, modern environmental law must tackle two seemingly contradictory challenges at the same time: it must protect people and the environment against risks arising from waste as much as possible, while simultaneously enabling the use of waste as a resource to the largest possible extent. On the one hand, a broad approach to the concept of waste helps to protect people and the environment because it allows public authorities to monitor what happens with waste to the greatest possible extent. However, in the same way that surveillance activities in criminal proceedings extensively infringe upon the rights of individuals, a concept of waste that is too broad may prevent the goals of a circular economy from being achieved. The article examines this problem in the context of the definition of waste, the concepts of by-products and end-of-waste status, and a few recent court decisions.
