Sorainen

Sorainen's tech, media and telecoms team regularly handles a range of matters throughout the practice area. The group works closely with tech companies, both global names and local leaders, offering a range of relevant services related to software agreements, technology licensing, e-commerce support and data protection issues. The team is particularly well-placed to navigate advertising regulations, consumer protection rules and the heavily regulated gambling industry. The team benefits from a wealth of experience and expertise brought by practice co-heads Laimonas Skibarka, Stasys Drazdauskas and Jonas Kiauleikis.
