The main lobbyists in Estonia are trade and industry associations, private enterprises, consultant lobby firms and civil society organizations. Trade unions, industry associations and professional unions are the oldest and most transparent lobby groups in the country. Further distinction is made between in-house lobbyists and consultant lobbyists. Larger businesses (usually multinational) employ lawyers or have PR departments. In addition, personal contributions from CEOs are considered highly effective when lobbying politicians.
