As an associate with the firm‘s Finance & Insurance team, I mainly specialise in the fields of fintech and blockchain. I also advise clients on banking, payments, financing and corporate matters

Regulatory assistance for financial market participants. I have experience assisting companies with regulatory questions, licensing processes, communication with the Bank of Lithuania, AML compliance, reporting, post-licensing obligations and other legal matters related to business structuring and setup.

Crypto services and blockchain projects. I also have a keen focus on crypto services and blockchain projects. My experience includes supporting service providers in token issuance, setting up a successful business in Lithuania, ensuring compliance with AML/CTF requirements and preparing for the upcoming MiCA regulation.

Substantial experience in NGOs.

During my academic years, I actively participated in several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on a local, national and international level. I was elected as the Secretary General of the European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) for one year. As a member of the International Board, I represented the interests of European law students at the association’s headquarters in Brussels. My primary responsibility was to coordinate international projects and collaborate with ELSA’s partners, including the Council of Europe and the International Bar Association. I had the privilege of attending the UNESCO General Conference as a delegate, where I took part in discussions on education, science and culture, analysing global trends in these areas. In 2023, I was one of the members of the Lithuanian Fintech Awards committee.
