Position

I am an associate with the firm‘s Employment team. I assist other team members in advising local and international companies on employment law issues as well as immigration and corporate and M&A matters.

Career

Continuous improvement. I strongly believe that a lawyer must be a well-rounded expert, so I am constantly striving to improve my academic knowledge and strengthen my practical skills. In 2019-2020 I participated in the Sorainen Student Academy and currently am a member of the firm‘s ThinkTank thus helping colleagues in diverse areas of law. Prior to joining the Sorainen team, I interned at other law firm, assisting in drafting employment and data protection documents and advising clients.

Nongovernmental organisations. In my free time, I contribute to strengthening the NGO sector and creating a favourable legal environment for public activities. I provide legal assistance to non-governmental organizations and advise on setting them up.

Volunteering. Since the beginning of my studies, I have been actively involved in the activities of Vilnius University Student Representation at the Faculty of Law. I served as marketing coordinator for two years in a row and as curator coordinator for one year. I am currently a curator and a student representative on the Dispute Resolution Commission of the Faculty of Law of Vilnius University.
