Regardless of the kinds of challenges that are involved, our team of professionals has extensive experience in helping solve them.
  • In the agricultural industry, civil disputes arise from the non-performance of contracts due to natural causes, fundamental changes in market prices, and a number of other reasons, often involving complex arguments about penalties and losses. We frequently represent clients in such cases.
  • Financial derivatives to hedge against changes in commodity prices are extremely common in the commodity export sector, but such complex instruments are difficult for public authorities to understand, and the Tax Inspectorate, the Competition Council, and other institutions are often asked to resolve complicated and confusing questions. Our team is closely acquainted with these instruments, follows their development, and successfully defends clients in disputes with the state that involve them.
  • International trade in agricultural products such as plant protection products and fertilizers is inevitably linked to customs law and import and export procedures. Our Tax Dispute team can assist with such matters.
  • Innovation in agriculture, the introduction of new products or services, e-trade, the remote provision of services, and the protection of personal data are just a few of the areas in which our Corporate Law team specializes and is ready to help.

In the effort to maintain operational activities, while complying with the many environmental requirements, companies often face significant challenges and legal obstacles:
  • Investors are increasingly incorporating environmental, social, and governance issues into their investment assessments, so companies need to have robust sustainability programmes that meet investor expectations and have reliable future-performance indicators.
  • Institutions providing funding for projects focus on sustainability schemes in companies and their compliance with IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability, and investors give priority to projects involving environmental-impact mitigation.
  • Environmental regulations and requirements for reports and permits are evolving and becoming ever-more complex.
  • The development of new territories, the redevelopment of blighted areas, and even production and industrial activities that took place decades ago are put under the magnifying glass due to the risks of environmental pollution.
Our team of lawyers follows and understands these trends and provides our clients with valuable insights into sustainability-related laws, regulations, and standards, and helps them develop a strategy to reduce the risk of environmental damage, while continuing to increase their own competitiveness.

We help our clients register on the lists of consumer credit providers and their intermediaries that are maintained by the Bank of Lithuania.
  • We help clients that are licensed to provide financial services in Lithuania expand their operations internationally and conduct all processes necessary to commence operations in other EU Member States.
  • In some cases we can help clients make slight adjustments to their business models, thus putting them outside the scope of financial services regulation. We provide practical advice to clients developing service-delivery processes.
  • The activities of the financial sector are regulated by the Republic of Lithuania, as well as the EU. Knowing all the relevant acts and keeping track of all relevant changes is a major challenge; and one that requires significant resources and time. We help our clients understand the constantly changing legal regime and assist in the implementation of changes as they become necessary, as well as providing advice on compliance issues.
  • The prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing is a critical part of financial-institution activities. How to comply with sanctions and other restrictive measures, and how to properly perform know-your-client procedures – we answer these and other questions from a practical perspective.

We help clients answer the questions asked during these inspections, forming their official position, as well as working efficiently to correct any defects identified during inspections.

We have successfully assisted many dozens of clients in the manufacturing sector with zoning and construction issues, and helped them obtain various permits and licenses.
  • Competition and Antitrust. The manufacturing industry is not immune to the attention of competition authorities, and their investigations and charges are addressed by our Antitrust team, which prides itself on its ability to prevent potential problems by instructing clients of possible dangers and teaching them both how to avoid investigations – and how to act during those that are unavoidable.

  • Representing Vilniaus Prekyba, the largest Baltic group of companies, in litigation against an ex-shareholder, in which the court ordered the ex-shareholder to pay our client in excess of EUR 100 million – the highest damages award ever in Lithuania.
  • Representing one of the largest corporate groups in the region in the first case in history involving a State’s decision to withdraw its ICSID investor-state arbitration counterclaim (valued at EUR 240 million) and convert it into an independent claim in its own national courts.
  • Representing a group of inventors in a dispute with the largest oil producer in Lithuania, in which our clients were awarded EUR 11,3 million in remuneration for the use of their patents in the company’s production processes.
  • Representing flyLAL, Lithuania’s now-bankrupt national airline, in its claim for over EUR 200 million in damages against AirBaltic and the Riga International Airport caused by their anti-competitive actions and abuse of dominant position.
  • Representing Panevėžio Keliai in several high-profile and politically sensitive cases involving improprieties in the EUR 40 million tender procedures related to the reconstruction of one of the major intersections in Vilnius.
  • Successfully representing Luigiterzo Bosca in an investor-state dispute against the Republic of Lithuania and persuading the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Lithuania to recognize and enforce the resulting award – which was the first-ever adverse investor-state award against the Republic of Lithuania.

Our recognized team provides dispute resolution services to local Lithuanian businesses and ones established abroad. We work with international companies providing consultations on matters related to Lithuanian jurisdiction and representing their interests. When solving complex international cases, our experts collaborate with local attorneys abroad. Thus, here at Motieka & Audzevičius, we can offer a well-coordinated international dispute resolution team. 

Our team’s success is based on a laser-like focus on the needs of each client, a highly efficient work process, and an unmatched commitment to achieving the best-possible results. We quickly identify the best course of action in difficult situations and provide clear guidance in local and international commercial litigation and arbitration.

Our Dispute Resolution Lawyers have an unparalleled record of successfully resolving complex business disputes.

  • Negotiation and Mediation. We are regularly recognized as the best negotiators in the market, and clients regularly ask for our assistance in the most sensitive disputes, either as legal counsel or as experts, arbitrators, or mediators. We often participate in negotiations worth hundreds of millions of euros, and in these and all other matters we are skilled at developing the most appropriate strategy and action plan, always keeping in mind the potential impacts on the finances, reputation, and business interests of the people involved. Ultimately, we strive to ensure that the result of the negotiations meets our clients’ hopes and expectations.
  • Dispute Litigation. We are indisputably the most experienced litigators in Lithuania. Local and international companies recognize and value our exceptional professionalism and unsurpassed perseverance in litigation and dispute resolution. We always work closely with client teams to coordinate processes and ensure that decisions of the court are executed.
  • Local and International Arbitration. We have the most experience in the market in representing clients in the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, the ICC International Court of Arbitration in Paris, the ICSID International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes in Washington, the London Court of International Arbitration, the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, and with UNCITRAL, GAFTA, and FOSFA arbitration proceedings. We accompany our clients at all stages of the arbitration process: we prepare the most appropriate strategy, professionally represent our clients both in written and oral proceedings, and ensure the recognition and enforcement of resulting arbitral awards.
  • Investment and Regulatory Disputes Against the State. Our team is extensively experienced in investment disputes, and we represent clients in complex investor-state arbitrations in Washington, the Hague, and Paris, as well as in investment and regulatory disputes in Lithuanian administrative courts, including those involving international sanctions, national-security-screening proceedings, and violations of competition law or money-laundering-prevention.
  • International Courts and Institutions. We have extensive experience successfully representing clients before the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Commission.
  • Construction and Real Estate Disputes. We regularly represent clients in large construction litigation and arbitration disputes (FIDIC, etc.), and in public-procurement disputes with construction regulators related to major infrastructure projects, among other things.
