We successfully represented a client in voiding a gratuitous contract worth millions. All courts agreed with our arguments that an intra-family gratuitous contract can be successfully voided. The courts also agreed that publicly denying the contract, filing baseless complaints and taking family disputes into the media all together give cause to void the contract. Our client was represented by attorney Villu Otsmann and lawyer Martin Järve of TRINITI.
