Rasa Zasciurinskaite has left TGS Baltic, where she was an Associate Partner, to head the Competition Law Practice Group at Cobalt Lithuania.
According to Cobalt, "for over 13 years, Rasa Zasciurinskaite has concentrated her practice in competition law and has substantial experience in energy, pharmacy, aviation, and other regulated areas of law. During her legal career, she has advised clients, both local and international, on competition law and other commercial law matters. In addition, Rasa has acted for clients in commercial and administrative disputes involving various aspects of European Union law, state aid, competition, aviation, energy, and healthcare law."
Zasciurinskaite joined TGS Baltic — the former Tark Grunte Sutkiene until its May 2017 name change (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 9, 2017) — in September 2014 as a result of the firm's merger with the Lithuanian office of Baltic Legal Solutions, where she had worked since 2007. Before that she spent two and a half years at Jurevicius, Balciunas & Partners, and a year before that as a lawyer at Ernst & Young.
Zasciurinskaite has a Master’s degree in Law from Vilnius University and an LL.M. in EU Competition Law from King’s College London.
“Competition law is highly relevant in today’s business setting," said Cobalt Lithuania Managing Partner Irmantas Norkus. "Our team has earned international recognition and has a wealth of experience representing clients in a great number of major Lithuanian competition proceedings. I am delighted to welcome the arrival of a competition law expert who is highly valued, experienced and well known in the market. Rasa will add to our expertise, and our team will continue to work together to meet the expectations of our clients for premier legal services."
On joining the firm, Zasciurinskaite said: “I am excited to become part of the competition team with a reputation for innovative approach and excellence in the market. Our priority will remain to deliver top-notch legal services and offer pioneering legal solutions to our clients."
