Exceptional achievements – Dispute Resolution in Lithuania and abroad
Our dispute resolution team represents Lithuanian and international companies in the most complex disputes.
We represented Vilniaus prekyba, the largest regional group of companies, against an ex-shareholder in damage litigation where the court ordered the respondent to pay our client an unprecedented amount exceeding EUR 100 million. The case concerned the unjustified application of interim measures and abuse of shareholder rights.
We represent one of the largest corporate groups in the region in the first case in history where a State would withdraw its EUR 240 million ICSID investor-state arbitration counterclaim and convert it into an independent claim in its own national courts.
We have successfully represented the inventors (a group of individuals) in a dispute with the largest oil producer in the country, where our clients were awarded a remuneration of 11,3 EUR for the use of patents in the company’s production processes.
For a decade now we represent flyLAL, the bankrupt national airline company against AirBaltic and Riga International Airport regarding damages (over 200 million EUR) caused due to anti-competitive actions and abuse of dominant position.

Represented Luigiterzo Bosca in an investor-state dispute against the Republic of Lithuania. Our team was also the leading counsel on the recognition and enforcement of the first-ever adverse investor-state award against the Republic of Lithuania before the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Lithuania.

The success of our team is achieved due to laser focus on the needs of each client, highly efficient work processes and perseverance to achieve amazing results that are evident over many years of operation. We understand the best course of action in difficult situations and provide clear guidance in commercial arbitration or litigation.
