Former Eversheds Saladzius Senior Associate Dainus Cicelis has joined Ellex Valiunas as Associate Partner.
Cicelis was Head of Legal at the SEB Lithuania from 2000-2009, then worked for a year and a half at the Vilnius office of Sorainen. From March 2011 to February 2012 he was a Partner at Lawpro, before moving over to Eversheds Saladzius, where he stayed until August of this year.
According to Ellex Valiunas, "In 1997 Cicelis obtained a master's degree in law from Vilnius University. His professional experience of over 20 years includes advising clients on M&A and other business law and strategic issues, drafting and assessment of agreements, and representing clients before courts and other institutions.
"Joining the law firm with rich history gives me a special feeling and I hope to contribute to the successful implementation of its projects with my knowledge and abilities and experience," commented Cicelis.
Vilija Vaitkutė Pavan, the head of the Dispute Resolution practice at Ellex Valiunas commented on the group's success in recent years in explaining, "such results could be hardly achievable without lawyers with a high-level qualification and innovative thinking. The new colleague Dainius Cicelis has exactly these basic characteristics. With such experts in place we are able to ensure not only the top quality services to our clients but will also find solutions in the most complicated disputes.”
