Sale of Shares and Companies: Legal and Tax Aspects in Lithuania and in International Transactions

Transactions involving business owners, investors, and corporate groups are increasingly crossing national borders, making the process of selling shares or a company not only a commercial challenge but also a legal and tax one. Shareholders operating in different jurisdictions or companies registered abroad may face significant regulatory and tax differences.

During this training session, Džiuginta Balčiūnė, Partner, Attorney-at-Law, and Head of Corporate and M&A practice at law firm WIDEN, will review the main scenarios for share and company sale transactions, the options for structuring them, and the most important legal and tax implications.

We will discuss cases where the parties to the transaction are located in different countries, where shares of companies registered abroad are being sold, as well as practical aspects worth considering when planning a transaction.

Džiuginta will talk about:

• types of share and business sale transactions and their differences;
• the specifics of international transactions;
• options for structuring transactions;
• key taxation aspects in Lithuania;
• the most common risks and mistakes;
• practical steps for preparing for a transaction.

The training is intended for business owners, shareholders, executives, finance and legal professionals, and anyone planning business or investment transactions in Lithuania and abroad.
