ILSA TalTech Chapter

We recently had the opportunity to visit Wise, where our members gained first-hand insight into legal compliance and privacy within a rapidly evolving fintech environment.

During the visit, Wise’s experts shared practical perspectives on how compliance and privacy frameworks function in real-world business contexts. They highlighted the complexity of maintaining trust and transparency in global financial services, as well as the responsibilities that come with it.

A big thank you to the Wise team for the warm welcome and for sharing your expertise so openly with us!

From a compelling presentation to a well-developed research proposal, Laura Reinberg stood out across every aspect of the conference.

A law student at Tallinn University, her work, "Supporting EUDR Compliance with AI-based Forest Monitoring Tools in Estonia," explores how AI can support traceability and oversight in forest supply chains under the EU Deforestation Regulation, while emphasising that legal responsibility remains with companies and human-led due diligence.

"LAITech was my first academic conference as a presenter… a very inspiring and educational experience."

👏 Congratulations to our Winner, Laura Reinberg 👏

Meet Soňa Juhásová, a PhD researcher at Comenius University in Bratislava, whose work explores digital platforms, freedom of expression, and EU law.

Her presentation examined how the decentralized structure of the Fediverse challenges the EU Digital Services Act, raising important questions about accountability, safeguards, and the protection of freedom of expression in digital spaces. She also explored whether existing regulatory principles can be effectively applied to these emerging systems.

"LAITech2026 was a highly stimulating and welcoming academic environment… a truly rewarding experience."

👏 Congratulations to our Best Speaker, Soňa Juhásová 👏

🏆 Best Research Award Winner | 🏆

From Punjab University to a joint Master’s at TalTech and TU Dresden, Prenavpreet Kaur is making an impact in the field of law and technology.

Her LAITech2026 research proposal explored artificial intelligence as an apparatus, discourse, and author-function, examining how AI exerts power through institutions, regulates discourse, and reshapes authorship when algorithmic systems take on the author-function.

"LAITech2026 was an enriching experience… a meaningful platform to engage with scholars and professionals tackling the challenges of technological innovation."

👏 Congratulations to our Best Research winner, Prenavpreet Kaur 👏

⚖️ Women have been shaping Estonia’s legal system for more than a century. On the International Day of Women Judges, we recognise the vital role women play in courts.

🎓 Estonia’s legal history is rich with inspiring pioneers. Ilse Zimmermann, the first female law graduate in 1922, and Margot Viirmann-Kanemägi, among the first women admitted to the Bar in 1924, helped open the legal profession to women. In 1936, Lyubov Hütsi became Estonia’s first female judicial official.

🖋️ Women have also played an important role in Estonia’s highest courts since the restoration of independence. In 1993, Lea Kivi and Triinu Vernik became the first female judges of the Supreme Court.

💡 Their work continues to inspire new generations of women in law, both in Estonia and around the world.

💡 Day 2 of wrapped up yesterday, marking the close of this year’s conference. Here is a look back at Day 2.
