Karolis Gudas Returns to Private Practice by Launching New Firm

Former Rail Baltica Head of Litigation Karolis Gudas has returned to private practice to launch his eponymous Karolis Gudas Law Firm.

Gudas had been with Rail Baltica since March 2021. Before that, he was the Head of Legal of Ignitis Group between 2016 and 2022. Earlier still, he was a Legal Advisor at IFE Eriksen.

Before moving in-house Gudas was a Lawyer with Motieka & Audzevicius between 2011 and 2014.

“As someone who has spent almost a decade working in legal executive positions within the investment, energy, and infrastructure industries, I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in the legal field,” commented Gudas. “However, I have recently decided to transition to an attorney at law. This shift will allow me to work more closely with clients, providing them with valuable legal guidance as they navigate complex issues. As an attorney at law, I will have the opportunity to expand my practice areas and focus on the subject matters where I can bring the most value to my clients, with a particular emphasis on dispute resolution, energy and infrastructure, and finance. I am excited about this new chapter in my career and look forward to utilizing my skills and expertise to help clients achieve their legal goals.”
