We will advise you on which countries to register in, and walk you through their registration procedures. We also continually monitor Lithuanian and foreign trademark registers, and will inform you of the appearance of any identical or similar trademarks if your rights are violated. We can also manage your trademark portfolio.
We can represent you in any trademark owner rights violation or unfair competition disputes you might have. We will put our extensive court experience at your disposal to give you peace of mind.

International Debt Recovery
Recovery of overdue international debts is considered to be a long, complex and costly process. Therefore, often creditors do not go to court to recover these debts and do not initiate enforcement actions in other countries when a judgment of a domestic court has become enforceable.
Fortunately, we are well aware of the current legal framework that facilitates debt recovery from foreign debtors, and simplifies the enforcement process in other countries.
We can:
- apply to the Lithuanian courts to get information about debtor‘s bank accounts in other EU countries and block these accounts;
- use a fast and simplified debt recovery process from the EU debtors, which can be initiated and completed in Lithuanian courts by standardized procedural documents;
- initiate the enforcement process in the EU without following the formal and lengthy procedures for declaring it enforceable;
- complete the majority of other legal actions that are aimed to get your money back faster, cheaper and easier.
-
Domains
Managing one, two or three domains is easy. But managing more is far more difficult. We can help you monitor validity, prepare documents and issue reminders to you on approaching rulings.
Let us help you safeguard your business against those on the look out to make a quick profit from you. We have successfully defended our clients and recovered illegally registered domains, such as maximagroup.lt, rimi.lt, akropolis.lt, cido.lt, techdata.lt, balticmodels.lt, amongst others.
