LAWIN team successfully protected Švyturys-Utenos Alus UAB from strike

On August 5, Klaipėda District Court passed the judgement that a strike announced by the employees of the production division of the major Lithuanian brewery Švyturys-Utenos Alus UAB was illegal. After a long and intensive marathon of court sessions, twice imposed interim measures (once on the eve of the strike), LAWIN lawyers succeeded in protecting the interests of Švyturys-Utenos Alus UAB  and saved the company from the strike during the most intensive beer production season. Potential costs of the strike were estimated by the company at about LTL 1 million per day. Interim measures were imposed to prevent the strike and now the court by its effective judgement has declared that the strike was unlawful.

LAWIN’s partner Ramūnas Petravičius and attorney at law Inga Visockytė have effectively represented interests of Švyturys-Utenos Alus UAB in the court, also other team members Rimantas Stanevičius and Vilija-Vaitkutė Pavan have advised on the matter.
