Elvīra Krēķe is the Latvian Country manager of an Estonian LegalTech startup HUGO.legal, co-founder of the Legal Hackers Riga chapter and the founder of Legally, which initially was founded as a LegalTech startup, however, over time, Legally became a well-established legal services provider in matters of personal data protection by helping various large, medium-sized and small companies, especially startups and tech companies.
ELTA Ambassadors are a group of well-connected Legal Tech pioneers from all over Europe and beyond, who volunteer to act as “swinging doors” between their country or region and the international level of ELTA. In addition to the regional Ambassadors, the group also comprises Ambassadors representing sectors and interest groups in the legal market at a European level.
