Banking

We’ve been privileged to handle challenging and groundbreaking banking transactions, including the Luminor merger across the Baltic States and the establishment of Inbank in Estonia. We’ve managed restructurings and wind-downs like Snoras in Lithuania and ABLV Bank in Latvia, as well as market exits and business sales.

Our clients trust us for precise solutions, whether addressing current needs or anticipating future changes in AML and sanctions compliance, or developing payment services and new funding options.

We also have a voice in policymaking: developing close-out netting legislation in Lithuania, advising the Finance Latvia association, and working on covered bond legislation across the Baltic States.
