Valiunas Ellex has announced that Joana Baublyte-Kulviete, Dovile Greblikiene, Aiste Medeliene, and Laura Ziferman have been made partners at the firm.

Joana Baublyte-Kulviete is an expert in financial markets and regulation law and has over 14 years of experience working with different financing, acquisitions, securities, and corporate sales transactions and in other areas of regulated financial services. She offers advice to clients on matters of incorporating, licensing, restructuring banks and other financial institutions, and represents them in litigation. She joined Valiunas Ellex in 2002 and supervises the firm’s financial market and regulation practice.

Dovile Greblikiene is Head of the firm's Regulatory Industries and Trade practice. She Greblikiene has work with projects in areas ranging from power, gas and heat, and hydrocarbon extraction. She has represented clients in energy-related cases in national courts and international arbitrations. She also works in other regulated industries such as transport and telecommunications, among others.

Aiste Medeliene is Head of Valiunas Ellex’s Tax practice. Before coming to work for Valiunas Ellex in 2011, she was a member of Lithuania's Commission on Tax Disputes and has spent ten years working at the Law Faculty of Vilnius University. According to Valiunas Ellex, "by combining her theoretical and practical knowledge and keeping a systematic approach, she has earned her clients’ trust in solving the most complicated tax-related issues."

Laura Ziferman is Head of the firm's Public Procurement and PPP practice at Valiunas Ellex. She has eleven years of experience in providing public procurement advice in complex infrastructure projects, and the firm describes her as "working on every major public and private partnership project currently underway in Lithuania." In addition, according to Valiunas Ellex, "over her years of practice, Ziferman has represented her clients in many case-law proceedings involving termination of multi-million contracts due to violations of the public procurement procedure, imposition of huge fines, and presentation of interpretations of the most relevant public procurement matters."

“Business has been undergoing significant changes over the recent years, with new products and services being developed (particularly in the e-space) and business consolidations taking place, which all leads to the diminishing of the traditional boundaries of cross-sector competition," said Rolandas Valiunas, Managing Partner of Valiunas Ellex. "Clients are expecting a full range of integrated legal services. Therefore, we are positive that the four experts in different fields will strengthen the firm’s existing team of fifteen partners and will help us offer even more innovative solutions and premium legal services to our clients."
