Lithuania's legal market is centred on Vilnius and served by strong pan-Baltic firms such as Sorainen, Ellex Valiunas, Cobalt, TGS Baltic and Walless. Advocates (advokatas) also work in-house, in the Prosecutor General's Office (prokuroras roles) and across compliance and EU-law practices. The market is small but well integrated into the wider EU and Baltic economy.
Obtain a higher university legal education (law studies at a Lithuanian/EU university), then gain the required practical experience: at least five years of legal work, or at least two years practising as an assistant advocate (advokato padejejas). After passing the Advocates' Qualification Examination you are admitted to the Lithuanian Bar as an advokatas.
