Glimstedt describes Solveiga Paleviciene, the head of the firm's Dispute Resolution practice group, as "one of the most skilled experts in the field of dispute resolution and arbitration in Lithuania, whose extensive experience comes from working in state institutions where she worked as Advisor to the Judge of the Supreme Court of Lithuania, Chief Advisor to the Chairman of the Supreme Court, as well as Advisor to the President of Lithuania on Legal Matters.

"This results in a variety of business disputes and the need to provide new, fast, innovative, and integrated solutions. The ambitious Glimstedt Dispute Resolution and Arbitration team can offer every client the most profitable long term strategic solution. I am grateful to the partners and the entire Glimstedt team for the trust they have shown me and for their belief that the main goal in business disputes is not burning bridges, but helping businesses discover new possibilities, and create new relationships that bring more value added. I am well aware that the offer to accept partnership brings with it even bigger expectations. I am happy and ready to work together with my team to strengthen the firm’s values, and help our clients find the easiest and most effective way to tackle crisis and accept the challenges of globalization."
