Edvinas Šatas

Founder & Attorney-at-Law

Edvinas Šatas

I work with businesses, startups and investors operating across different jurisdictions.

I began my legal career in 2013 as an intern at the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Republic of Lithuania.

In 2015, I joined TEGOS, one of the largest law firms in the Baltics, previously known as Tark Grunte Sutkiene and TGS Baltic. I later joined WINT Law Firm, where I was part of the team from its inception.

In 2020, I established my law office under the Šatas Legal name and focused its work on technology startups, Web3 projects and early-stage investors. In 2026, I established Šatas Legal as a law firm.

I am active in the startup ecosystem. This gives me first-hand insight into the issues founders and investors face, beyond what appears in the documents.

I served two terms on the Money Laundering Prevention Committee of the Lithuanian Bar Association, from its establishment in 2021 until 2026. I am a member of the Lithuanian Young Bar Association (LJAA).
