The latest Chambers High Net Worth rankings once again highlight Sorainen’s leading position in Private Wealth. The Band 1 recognition across the Baltics reflects our expertise in navigating increasingly complex wealth planning, succession and governance matters, where legal and tax considerations often go hand in hand.
“Our clients increasingly need strategic guidance that combines legal, tax and business considerations. They are no longer looking only for legal advice on succession or asset protection. We are observing a generational shift: an increasing number of families and individuals are actively planning how wealth will be transferred, preserved and managed in the future. This makes private wealth matters even more relevant and sophisticated,” says Laimonas Skibarka, head of Sorainen’s Private Client team.
Most recognised team, according to Chambers
In addition to being the only firm with the highest ranking in each of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, Sorainen continues to have the largest group of individually recognised practitioners in the region.
This year’s individual rankings recognise Saulė Dagilytė, Sergej Butov and Dr Mindaugas Lukas in Band 1 in Lithuania, alongside Laimonas Skibarka in Band 2 and Gerda Skirbutienė as Up & Coming for the first time. In Latvia, Jānis Taukačs remains in Band 1. In Estonia, Kärt Anna Maire Kelder retains her Band 1 ranking, while Hanna Esko enters the rankings as an Associate to Watch.
Supporting families through a generational shift
As private wealth continues to grow across the Baltics, clients increasingly seek advice that combines private wealth, tax and business succession expertise, with an increasing focus on the efficient transfer of wealth to the next generation.
Meeting client needs, Sorainen strengthened its tax practice in Lithuania in 2026, further enhancing its ability to advise on complex private wealth matters. Dr Mindaugas Lukas, who joined the firm as a tax partner and is ranked in Band 1 by Chambers, works closely with private wealth clients, bringing additional depth to our integrated offering.
During the research, clients highlighted the team’s expertise, responsiveness and practical approach:
“The Sorainen team offers good analysis of the legal environment, allowing you to make the right decisions.”
“Their expertise gives you confidence. When they say they can get something done, I know that comes from experience of handling similar cases. If the situation is somewhat high-pressure, you want the best to represent you, and they embody that.”
“My experience working with Sorainen as a whole has been excellent. They are highly professional, responsive and well-coordinated.”
“The team at Sorainen genuinely listens to your case and finds a solution tailored to your needs.”
