Sorainen is home to a robust real estate and construction team which handles the full spectrum of the practice area, including niche specialisms such as heritage protection, environmental law and FIDIC-based contractual disputes. The firm’s clients operate predominantly in the real estate development, retail, energy and manufacturing industries. Notable recent work includes providing a German manufacturer with full-service legal support on environmental and construction-related issues to facilitate the launch of its new production facility in Lithuania. Four prominent practitioners lead the team: Aušra Mudėnaitė, Kęstutis Adamonis, Asta Augutytė-Rapkevičienė and Simonas Skukauskas.
