Ellex has offered pro bono representation in a same-sex parenthood case before the national courts in Lithuania, resulting in the first-ever recognition of same-sex parents.
According to Ellex, "Lithuania’s national courts have, for the first time, recognized the right to maternity for the second mother of the same child. This historic decision represents a significant step forward in advancing legal recognition of same-sex parenthood in a country where the legal framework does not explicitly provide for such rights. This case is a transformative moment for equality, inclusivity, and justice for same-sex families, setting a powerful inspiration for future cases in Lithuania and potentially influencing societal attitudes."
The Ellex team included Attorney at Law Donatas Murauskas and Junior Associate Rosita Lukseviciute.
