Manufacturing

Manufacturing and industrial companies face a variety of pressing economic and political challenges. Our responsibility to these companies is not limited to offering professional legal advice – we also provide detailed insight on the market and help our clients to develop and implement their strategic goals.

Our lawyers provide relevant legal advice on the variety of issues faced by companies in the manufacturing sector, including:

• International Sanctions. International sanctions have recently become the number-one issue for many entities in the sector. From sourcing raw materials to managing energy costs and delivery and sales channels, every aspect of the manufacturing and distribution business has been impacted by sanctions. Lithuania, located at the crossroads between East and West, feels the impact of all the changes in this area. As a result, our team monitors the current sanctions regime to stay immediately informed of all related developments to make sure we can provide timely and superior advice to our clients, allowing for the creation of effective action plans to minimize their risks.
• Transactions. As with any industry, manufacturing companies often grow through mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, and other reorganizations. Our corporate-law team works with our tax experts to successfully manage even the largest regional transactions.
• Disputes. Our Dispute Resolution team is always ready to help clients facing contractual breaches, damages, force majeure issues, etc. With the top dispute-resolution lawyers in Lithuania, we are well-positioned to represent our clients in any fight, whether domestic and international, and in any court or arbitral tribunal.
• Regulations and Regulatory Disputes. Regulatory procedures and disputes with government institutions are daily bread for our dedicated Administrative Law team. 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.
