I have also led asset managers and funds through the licensing procedure, as well as conducted several restructurings.

Bank Financing. My experience in advising international banking institutions focuses on drafting loan and security agreements for financing Lithuanian targets as well as structuring the Lithuanian leg of international financing transactions.
