Success stories
We represented the interests of a client in the Competition Council where an investigation was to be launched into an agreement restricting competition by directly or indirectly fixing prices of certain goods or setting forth other sales conditions.
We successfully represented one of the largest transport companies in Lithuania in defending its interests in a case of unfair competition and disclosure of trade secrets by its employee. We managed to prove in this case that after the termination of her employment with the company a former employee established her own company and used commercial secrets of her former employer in order to compete unfairly on the transportation market. She was eventually held liable for the damage suffered by her former employer.
We represented an IT company in a criminal case concerning hacking of their internal information system and unauthorised interception and use of electronic data. The lawyers of ECOVIS ProventusLaw managed to prove that by hacking the database of our client the competitor intended to gain competitive advantage and therefore he was prosecuted both for unauthorised interception and use of electronic data and for industrial espionage.
We defended the interests of a company which was accused by its former employee of wrongful dismissal and failure to make bonus payment in court and managed to prove that all amounts due to the employee were paid and the amount claimed was an incentive to be paid for excellent work rather than unpaid wages.
