Lithuanian Bar Association Defends Attorney-at-Law Domain Names
OREANDA-NEWS. September 03, 2013. SORAINEN Lithuania is currently representing the Lithuanian Bar Association, the organisation uniting all attorneys-at-law and their assistants in Lithuania, in a dispute regarding unlawful registration of the domain names “eadvokatas.lt” and “e-advokatai.lt”.
The defendant registered these domain names, which include the word “attorney-at-law”, and offers legal services of attorneys-at-law on its website, although it has no legal basis to provide such services due to non-compliance with the requirements of the Law on the Lithuanian Bar Association which apply to all attorneys-at-law in Lithuania.
For this reason, use of the domain names “eadvokatas.lt” and “e-advokatai.lt” should be considered as misleading and violating the rights of all attorneys-at-law admitted to the Lithuanian bar.
The case continues.
The client is represented by partner Renata Berzanskiene and associate Laurynas Ramuckis.
