Insolvency & Restructuring

Our Insolvency & Restructuring practice has been evolving rapidly recently. We have represented clients in insolvency proceedings with great sensitivity, working with creditors and bankruptcy administrators. Our clients appreciate how wide and at the same time in-depth our experience is. If you are looking for value-added legal solutions, no matter whether they are achieved in or out of court, you can rely on us to guide you through all aspects of restructuring and insolvency matters, on both local and cross-border level.

Game-changing impact

Our work on big financial institutions’ bankruptcy proceedings has played a role in changing the legal landscape in Lithuania.

Well-versed in bankruptcy administration

Our relations with the bankruptcy and restructuring market are strong, as we have represented a significant number of bankruptcy administrators when the state has questioned whether they have met their obligations, and has looked to terminate their certificates or activities.
