Lawyer in Lithuania

Advice and document work

You can agree advice during a consultation or in writing, an online consultation, or preparation of a contract and procedural documents. At the outset, we distinguish an explanation from a specific instruction, such as a filing, negotiations or involvement in a case. Each task needs clear limits and the necessary authority to act.

For foreign nationals, we clarify the working language, any interpreter and supporting evidence required. Provide Lithuanian documents in full rather than only a title or summary. After reviewing them, we establish which are needed for assessment, which for submission and which may need separate translation or authentication.

Companies, contracts and business partners

We consider business formation, corporate and incorporation documents, investment projects and insolvency. For day-to-day transactions, the subject matter, authority, acceptance and payment arrangements matter. Contract terms should reflect the actual supply or work, rather than simply the commercial name of the service offered.

For a company check we identify the information available, the representative’s connection with the legal entity and the risks of the particular transaction. Lawful checks of facts or suspected fraud do not provide unrestricted access to confidential sources. Conclusions must be considered in light of how complete the information is and when it was examined.

Tax, debts and commercial disputes

Tax advice is based on the actual transactions, countries and documents involved. Reporting and accounting may require another professional and a separate instruction. Registering a Lithuanian company does not automatically resolve every international tax issue or guarantee a particular saving.

For a debt, we check the basis for payment, evidence of performance and any objections. Formal demands, commercial litigation, recovery of property and appropriate international arbitration are assessed against the documents. Even a favourable decision does not guarantee the debtor’s solvency or actual recovery without further action.

A business’s intellectual assets

For a trade mark, work, software or another creation, the subject matter and ownership of rights need to be established. Intellectual Property Protection may involve contractual, registration and dispute matters. The territory and form of protection are determined for the particular asset, rather than automatically for everything a business produces.

Industrial property and specialist examinations may require a professional with the relevant expertise. If you receive a claim, provide its full text and evidence of use. Paying for development or holding a copy does not always establish the scope of rights, so agreements with creators and previous transfers must be checked separately.

Family and inheritance matters

We consider divorce, including where one spouse is a foreign national, division of assets, maintenance, establishing paternity, adoption and marital agreements. Countries of residence, the children’s actual whereabouts and existing decisions matter. For several related claims, we identify the possible procedure and sequence rather than treating one application as automatically settling every issue.

For an inheritance, we establish the assets in Lithuania, the basis of entitlement, any will and steps already taken. A beneficiary abroad may need foreign documents and appropriate authority for a representative. Notarial acts, legal analysis and court proceedings serve different purposes and are agreed according to the stage the matter has reached.

Property, civil and insurance matters

Potential work includes property checks, assistance with purchases and investments, and property disputes. For a foreign buyer, the chosen property and applicable conditions need to be assessed. Physical condition, market value and legal ownership are separate issues; where necessary, we identify the individual assessments and professionals required.

Civil enquiries concern ownership, contracts and obligations. An insurance dispute requires the policy, evidence of the event and calculations. The basis of each claim is checked against the documents; a well-supported case explains the facts and evidence rather than simply rejecting the other party’s response outright.

Representation and official documents

Criminal defence and appearances before a court, the police or prosecution authorities are confirmed according to the client’s status and the expertise required. Provide court documents with their attachments and the date received. Enforcement of a Lithuanian decision and an application to the European Court of Human Rights require separate assessment under their respective conditions.

For obtaining the documents we need the document type, identifying details and grounds for the application. Legal translation, an apostille and notarial acts depend on the intended use. Transactions, declarations, incorporation documents, inheritance and wills may require the appropriate notary; having a lawyer prepare the text does not replace that involvement.

Agreeing the scope of assistance

Provide a timeline, the outcome sought, the city and key documents. Identify missing documents, payments already made and other representatives. Once these are clarified, we establish the providers, fees and separate costs. If circumstances change, forward new correspondence and decisions before the next stage.
