Referring to their experience in the Baltic States, Glimstedt lawyers expect to participate in formation of Belarusian market as well as consulting in areas of privatization, mergers and acquisitions and finance sector.
Law office in Minsk will be directly administered by Jan Litborn, Fredric Forsman and Egidijus Bernotas, partners from Sweden and Lithuania.
“Belarusian market has many opportunities to offer. This country attracts business people for its potential in fields of energy, food industry, retail, public utilities and others”, says Egidijus Bernotas, partner of GLIMSTEDT law offices in Lithuania and Belarus.
Bernotas says that it is expected to develop the office in Minsk up to 30 lawyers. Expansion of the law firm would proceed according to Belarusian market development.
“Lots of market players of Belarusian market still do not know which legal instruments are possible and usual in Western world. Certainly, not all Western means can be used in Eastern countries – we are aware of that from the history of Baltic States’ development. Therefore, we modify legal solutions offered to Belarusian market according to the factors that are adequate for Eastern economy”, says the lawyer.
Lithuanian law firm Bernotas & Dominas GLIMSTEDT has been previously representing Belarusian entities.
Lithuanian law firm “Bernotas & Dominas GLIMSTEDT” operates for 12 years and participates in many major international deals.
