Šarūnas Grigonis
Senior Associate

I specialise in banking, finance, and fintech law, advising both domestic and international clients operating in regulated financial services. My practice includes legal support throughout the licensing process, guidance on regulatory strategy, and assistance in aligning business models with legal and supervisory requirements. I also represent clients before regulatory authorities and help them prepare for changes in the legal and regulatory environment.

I advise clients on obtaining authorisations to operate as crypto-asset service providers, electronic money institutions, payment institutions, crowdfunding service providers, banks, management companies, and other regulated entities. I have also assisted clients with the legal structuring and licensing of utility token projects, helping to assess the regulatory status of tokens and ensure compliance with applicable legal frameworks.

As part of my blockchain-related practice, I support clients preparing for MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) licensing. I work with both companies already operating in Lithuania and foreign firms seeking to establish licensed operations under MiCA. My role includes conducting regulatory risk assessments, advising on business model alignment, and guiding clients through the full licensing process.

My approach is grounded in delivering clear, practical, and business-oriented legal solutions that support clients in maintaining compliance and operating effectively within a regulated environment.
