His professional experience includes positions at esteemed law firms such as Toomas Keevallik, Aivar Pilv, and Entsik & Sillar.

From 2009 to 2013, Sillar served on the Estonian Bar Association's revision committee, chairing it from 2011 to 2013. Recognizing the international nature of modern criminal activity, Advokaadibüroo Sven Sillar OÜ has established significant contacts with internationally recognized law firms across Europe and Russia, including in Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
