Overview
Algirdas Semeta concentrates on EU law of financial services, with a particular focus on insurance and reinsurance law and regulation. He works with EU and third-country clients on EU and national regulatory requirements for insurers, insurance distributors and crypto-asset service providers, market access issues, as well as international standards applicable to the re/insurance sector. He brings to clients significant experience with supervision of reinsurers and insurance distributors, compliance with conduct of business rules, and insurance contract law questions, particularly in a cross-border context.
Algirdas also advises on EU financial and trade sanctions matters. He assists clients with the application of, and compliance with, EU economic sanctions targeting specific countries, such as Iran, Russia and Belarus, as well as the EU Blocking Statute. His experience covers sanctions due diligence matters, regulatory assessment, internal investigations, and compliance program development and implementation. Algirdas's knowledge of the financial services industry and financial regulation makes him ideally placed to support financial services providers on complex sanctions-related matters, although his experience extends well beyond the financial sector and spans a wide range of industries.
