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 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.

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 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.

We also provide advice on the rules and regulations applicable to the processing and transfer of data between multiple jurisdictions.
  • Versatility. We are trusted by both small businesses and large corporations. We advise representatives of various business sectors, including production, accommodation services, e-commerce, IT, finance, and many more. We are ready to help you no matter what sector you work in.
  • Data Protection Trainings. We actively organise data-protection trainings to inform and update clients and other participants of the most relevant data-protection issues, as well as publishing articles summarising key data-protection developments on a regular basis.

Today, most businesses know what the General Data Protection Regulation is, understand its importance, and know what it requires and what it prohibits. Nonetheless, most companies continue to process personal data improperly and fail to comply with the GDPR’s requirements, thus exposing themselves to data-leakage crises and potential fines from supervisors.

Trends show that data protection will be even more strictly enforced going forward, and that sanctions and fines will be even more severe than they are now, so companies who have not already taken care to ensure the security of the personal data they manage should do so now. Our team is ready to assist you by identifying relevant legal risks and helping you satisfy all relevant data-protection requirements.

We provide the following services in the field of data protection:

  • Audit. We carry out data-processing audits to help clients assess possible risks.
  • Agreements to Process and/or Transfer Personal Data. We have extensive experience in advising large public and private-sector clients on data-transfer and data-processing agreements in accordance with GDPR requirements. We also advise financial institutions and other service providers on data-protection issues related to large IT-services projects.
  • Privacy Notices and Compliance Documents. Our lawyers are highly skilled in drafting and reviewing client-privacy notices, including those for children. We also draft privacy policies and other documents related to information management and security issues.
  • Personal Data-Security Breaches and Breach Notifications. As personal data-security breaches can have a serious impact on business, we advise clients on how best to avoid them – and how to address them when they do occur, including by drafting breach notifications and submitting them to the State Data Protection Inspectorate.
  • Direct Marketing. Our team can help clients organise marketing campaigns to meet GDPR requirements, including the obtaining of valid consent agreements.
  • Representation. We represent the interests of our clients in the State Data Protection Inspectorate and in legal disputes regarding personal-data-processing breaches. In addition, we advise clients during investigations of personal-data breaches and prepare mandatory reports for the State Data Protection Inspectorate and data subjects. We also help clients comply with the requirements of Lithuanian law, including the obligation on data controllers to rectify problems to prevent future violations.
  • Education. We deliver high-quality trainings on data protection and privacy law.
  • Privacy Impact Assessments. We conduct the privacy-impact assessments required by the GDPR, and we help assess the nature and sensitivity of current or planned data-processing operations.
