Ellex Raidla and Civitta advised the establishment of Tartu University holding company
On 30 November, the council of the University of Tartu (UT) decided to establish the company UniTartu Ventures OÜ, adding an opportunity to direct the intellectual property created by UT researchers to research- and technology-intensive companies.
One objective of the University of Tartu is to be the accelerator of smart economy in Estonia. This also means that the university is more actively participating in the creation of new high-tech companies. The need for a new company mainly resulted from the success and rapid development of the Institute of Genomics, institutes of the Faculty of Science and Technology, the university’s Feasibility Fund and the university’s spin-off programme in recent years.
The university-owned intellectual property to be invested in growing enterprises via UniTartu Ventures may include, for instance, data, research findings or patents. In addition to emerging companies stemming from the university, UniTartu Ventures can also cooperate with other Estonian or international technology companies that are in the early stage and need the intellectual property created at the university to develop.
The establishment of UniTartu Ventures OÜ was advised in cooperation with Civitta by Ellex Raidla's Counsel Antti Perli, Managing Partner Ants Nõmper and Tax Counsel Dmitri Rozenblat.

Ellex Raidla’s Tax Counsel Dmitri Rozenblat appointed as a member of the Advisory Commission on cross-border tax disputes
From 1 July 2019, a new EU-wide system to resolve tax disputes between Member States applies to ensure quicker and more effective resolution of tax disputes.
Under the new mechanism, the tax authority will be required to settle a dispute on the application of double taxation treaties first within a two-year period through a mutual agreement procedure. If no solution has been found at the end of the set time limit, the taxpayer can request the setting up of an Advisory Commission to deliver an opinion.
This Advisory Commission will be comprised of three independent members appointed by the Member States concerned and representatives of the competent authorities in question.
We are very proud to announce that Dmitri Rozenblat, Tax Counsel at Ellex Raidla, has been appointed as an independent member of the Advisory Commission.
