‘What’s great about Averus is how fast they are with their services. They have experts in different legal areas, so we get everything we need without going anywhere else. Their ability to handle critical situations with ease is something we truly appreciate, and it’s what makes them unique.’
‘Partner Jonas Sakalauskas is great, both as a person and as a lawyer. He’s very empathetic, which makes communication easy—we trust him and his advice, and he always delivers on what he promises and what we need. He provides clear strategies and helps us solve problems. What we really appreciate is how he finds the best solutions, quite often through negotiation, keeping us out of court whenever possible.'
