‘I have been working with Sulija Partners Law Firm Vilnius for more than four years, and the experience has been incredible so far, as being in a dynamic industry like aviation, you need a team that you can rely on whenever needed, even at short notice. The team always works on improving their processes and always has the intention to protect the client’s interest, but at the same time being reasonable with the other party whenever there are contract discussions.’

‘Personally, I have been working with Gintautas Sulijia for four years. I am honoured to work with someone like Gintautas, as we have worked on hundreds of contracts and cases together, where he always added value on each occasion. I have personally learnt a lot from Gintautas, as I would say it’s impossible to find someone like him with all of that knowledge in aviation and always up to date with whatever is happening in the industry. The availability and flexibility of Gintautas is another trait that makes life much easier in ensuring that deals are closed and urgent matters are addressed whenever required.’

‘Gintautas Šulija and Vytautas Šulija are respected as among the top attorneys in the Baltics, and their enduring partnership continues to shape the ethos, directionality, and success of this outstanding firm.’
