Lithuanian Legal and Business Translation for Transport Companies, Employers and Investors

The driver file: employment contracts, posting documents and pay

Lithuanian transport companies are the largest employers of Georgian drivers in the EU, and the driver file is the most frequent legal document set in this pair: the darbo sutartis with its pay structure (base salary, dienpinigiai for days abroad, bonuses and deductions, which are the source of most disputes), the komandiravimo documents for posting drivers across the EU under the Mobility Package, the A1 certificate from Sodra, the vairuotojo liudijimas for non-EU drivers, accommodation and vehicle use agreements, and the company's house rules, disciplinary procedures and darbų sauga instructions. We translate the company's templates into Georgian once, so every driver signs a Georgian version they have read and understood - which the Valstybinė darbo inspekcija, the Migration Department and, increasingly, courts in disputes expect - and we translate each driver's personal documents into Lithuanian or English for MIGRIS. For companies and agencies we process groups as one project with per-driver rates, a single invoice and a dedicated manager.

Registering a company in Georgia or Lithuania

A Lithuanian UAB or AB founding a Georgian subsidiary, branch or representative office submits a Georgian translation of its Registrų centras išrašas, its įstatai, the visuotinio akcininkų susirinkimo or valdybos sprendimas approving the Georgian entity, and an įgaliojimas if a local representative files, all apostilled by a notary and notarized in Tbilisi; individual founders submit a translated passport. In the other direction, Georgians register Lithuanian UAB companies for EU business, transport licensing and fintech, and mažoji bendrija or individuali veikla for self-employment, submitting to the Registrų centras translated Georgian passports or company extracts, charters and įgaliojimai with notarial certification, and we prepare these files to the register's format. We draft charters bilingually so the founder signs a text they can read, and after registration we translate the Georgian Public Registry extract or the Lithuanian išrašas for the other side's banks and authorities.

Transport licensing, Mobility Package and operational documents

Beyond the driver file, transport companies generate licensing and operational paperwork: Bendrijos licencijos and their copies, vairuotojo liudijimai issued by the Lietuvos transporto saugos administracija for non-EU drivers, vehicle registration and insurance, CMR consignment notes, the correspondence with foreign inspectorates after roadside checks under the Mobility Package's cabotage and posting rules, and the fines and appeals that follow. We translate these between Lithuanian, Georgian, Russian and English with translators who know the haulage vocabulary and the Mobility Package's terminology, run a logistics desk for the customs and shipping documents of Lithuanian-Georgian trade, and offer framework agreements to transport companies for both driver files and operational documents.

Sutartys between Lithuanian and Georgian parties

Both countries' law permits contracts in any language, but the local version is what a registry or court reads, so cross-border contracts are drafted bilingually in parallel columns, with names in the correct Lithuanian form and the original where identity matters. We translate pirkimo-pardavimo sutartys for property and equipment, nuomos sutartys, darbo sutartys, vežimo and ekspedijavimo sutartys for transport, tiekimo and platinimo sutartys for wine, food, lasers and machinery, paslaugų sutartys for IT and fintech, akcininkų sutartys, paskolos sutartys and laidavimai, konfidencialumo sutartys and franšizės sutartys. The translator is a legal specialist who keeps defined terms and numbering consistent and flags where a Lithuanian concept under the Civilinis kodeksas - nuosavybės teisės išlaikymas, netesybos, certain forms of garantija, the role of the vadovas - needs a lawyer's decision on the Georgian equivalent rather than a translator's guess.

Court judgments, labor disputes, arbitration and enforcement

Lithuanian judgments in family, commercial and succession matters are recognized and enforced in Georgia through proceedings requiring notarized Georgian translations of the sprendimas, the įsiteisėjimo pažyma and supporting documents, all apostilled by a notary. Georgian judgments and notarized loan deeds go the other way for enforcement through Lithuanian antstoliai, translated into Lithuanian with notarial certification and apostilled. Labor disputes between Georgian drivers and Lithuanian transport companies - over pay, dienpinigiai, deductions, dismissal and unpaid wages - before the Darbo ginčų komisija, the courts and the Valstybinė darbo inspekcija are the most frequent category in this pair, and we translate contracts, pay slips, tachograph records, correspondence and decisions for both sides. Arbitration under the Vilnius Court of Commercial Arbitration, the ICC or the Georgian International Arbitration Centre produces bilingual submissions and awards which we translate under procedural deadlines. Paveldėjimo bylos are handled by the same team. Litigation files are handled under NDA with restricted access.

Finansinės ataskaitos, tax documents, tenders, confidentiality and how projects run

Georgian subsidiaries of Lithuanian groups, and Lithuanian UAB companies owned by Georgians, report across the border under Lithuanian business accounting standards and IFRS, and both present accounts to banks and tax authorities. We translate finansinės ataskaitos, balansai and pelno (nuostolių) ataskaitos, auditoriaus išvados, rezidavimo vietą patvirtinančios pažymos from the VMI for treaty relief under the Lithuania-Georgia double taxation agreement, PVM documents, transfer pricing files and bank confirmation letters, with accountants on the team reconciling every figure. Lithuanian companies bid on Georgian state tenders in transport, IT and energy, and we translate tender documents within days of the notice.

Every translator, editor and courier is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, files are encrypted and access is limited to the assigned team; we sign client-specific NDAs and GDPR-compliant duomenų tvarkymo sutartys for Lithuanian clients. Corporate clients receive a glossary and translation memory from the first project. Projects run in a fixed pattern: fixed quote within the hour, a legal or financial specialist plus a reviewer, questions returned in a single batch, delivery in the original format, and notarization and apostille scheduled in parallel with translation. Framework agreements with monthly invoicing and priority notary slots are available for transport companies, recruitment agencies and law firms serving Lithuanian clients.
