On October 26, 2026, French-Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, together with our members – WIDEN Law Firm, hosted an online event “Sale of Shares and Companies: Legal and Tax Aspects in Lithuania and in International Transactions”. This training session tackled one of the most complex topics for expanding enterprises: managing international corporate sales across different legal and tax jurisdictions.
Special thanks to our speaker, Džiuginta Balčiūnė (Partner, Attorney-at-Law, and Head of Corporate & M&A at WIDEN Law Firm), for sharing her 15+ years of practical experience in high-impact deals.
Key Takeaways from Today:
• Jurisdiction Matters: Holding shares abroad or dealing with international buyers completely changes your tax exposure and regulatory roadmap.
• Structuring Early Saves Deals: Choosing the right transaction type (asset vs. share deal) before negotiations start prevents costly last-minute adjustments.
• Tax Preparedness in Lithuania: Knowing local tax implications upfront protects your deal value.
Thank you to everyone who joined us today for the engaging discussion!
