I specialise in banking and finance law, advising Lithuanian and international clients operating in the regulated financial services sector.
My practice covers legal support throughout the licensing process, regulatory strategy development, and aligning business models with statutory and supervisory requirements. I also represent clients before supervisory authorities and help them prepare for changes in the legal and regulatory landscape.
I provide legal assistance to entities seeking authorisation as crypto-asset service providers, credit institutions, electronic money institutions, crowdfunding service providers, and other supervised financial market participants. I also advise on the licensing of crypto-asset token projects – assessing the legal status of tokens and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
I advise clients preparing for authorisation under the MiCA Regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation). I work with both Lithuania-based companies and foreign entities intending to launch regulated activities in Lithuania under MiCA. I carry out regulatory risk assessments, advise on the compatibility of business models with the regulation, and support clients throughout the entire licensing process.
My priority is to deliver clear, practical and business-oriented legal solutions that help clients ensure compliance and operate effectively in a regulated environment.
