Recognised for Gender Diversity Support in CEE – Women in Business Law Awards 2026

Have you ever wondered what the W in WALLESS could stand for? There may be more than one answer, but this feels especially meaningful today: W for women – turn it around, and you see M for men. 

A simple reminder that for WALLESS, diversity has always been natural. From the very beginning, it has been part of how our firm was built, how our team works, and how people are trusted to grow and lead. 

That is why being named winner of the Gender Diversity Support – CEE category at the Women in Business Law EMEA Awards 2026 means so much. It reflects what diversity can mean beyond the firm itself – from international dialogue and visibility initiatives to the work of diverse legal teams. 

And now, this conversation is becoming louder in the wider business world. In Lithuania, gender balance is moving further into governance, with large companies required to ensure that the under-represented gender holds at least 33% of management and supervisory positions by 30 June 2026. When diversity grows naturally, it is a strong sign of culture. Where it needs support, we welcome every initiative that helps strengthen it.
