Legal 500 EMEA has published the following testimonials of our clients: 
 
Šulija & Partners Law Firm Vilnius has unique experience of the aviation market. We have worked with the firm on multimillion aviation transactions recently, and it handled all the matters very professionally. It consistently provides top-quality services.
 
This is the strongest practice of the law firm, as they are very-well known in Lithuania as one of the best experts on aviation and related matters in Lithuania. The firm stands out in that clients have a direct contact with the partners of the law firm, who personally handle most of the matters entrusted to the law firm. The firm manages expectations brilliantly, great for handling regulatory issues and for supporting transactions with business partners.”
 
The firm has rich aviation expertise, probably the best in Lithuania. It handles a number of matters, including aircraft leases, purchases, financing, mortgaging assets, etc. The lawyers have deep understanding of English and New York laws, which is customarily used for aircraft finance transactions.”
 
We worked with Gintautas Sulija and were satisfied with his knowledge of Lithuanian law and asset finance structures. He is very attentive to details, which is good for a lawyer, responds quickly and in time. The deal lasted for a few months, and Gintautas successfully supported us throughout this period.”
 
I have worked with many lawyers over the decades in all three countries, but have never been as happy with a company as with this one for over a dozen years now. It seems to always be dedicated to the ideal of excellence in the sense of telling the client what are the possible outcomes of any choice, and then pursuing that choice with passion in the client’s interests. There is never an attempt to stretch anything out, or to achieve less than the best possible result for the client. There is a deep intellectual honesty that translates into many other virtues. If not for Sulija and Co, I am quite sure I would have left Lithuania years ago.”
 
Gintautas Šulija is strongly recommended as an aviation law expert. He assists us with our day-to-day operation and provides excellent, precise and quick advice. I would also point out Vytautas Šulija is particularly helpful in litigation matters. Eduard Plešak is also recommended as a diligent lawyer with attention to details.”
 
We work with Dr Gintautas Šulija, Dr Vytautas Šulija and Eduard Plešak. They are all great lawyers, very professional and provide most efficient service. Dr Gintautas Šulija, Partners of the law firm, is renowned for his experience in aviation and general corporate matters. In particular, he is great for drafting the most complicated contracts in the most high-value transactions. Eduard Plešak is recommended for basically same reasons. Dr Vytautas Šulija, also a Partner at the firm, is an eminent litigator.”
 
Gintautas Šulija is one of the leading lawyers in Lithuania for aviation finance matters. He is 24/7 available and provides excellent, precise and quick advice with special attention to the details and possible legal and even commercial risks involved. I would also recommend Eduard Plešak, who is particularly helpful on regulatory matters and liaising with state authorities.”
 
The firm was also ranked as a top tier firm in the Dispute Resolution practice area in Lithuania. The head of the law firm’s Dispute Resolution practice group Dr Vytautas Šulija was noted by the Legal 500 researchers for his substantial work on acting in high-profile cases, which recently included representing of a foreign mass media enterprise in challenging the ban on the website in Lithuania due to an alleged copyright infringement of the Lithuanian National Radio and Television.
