COBALT consistently contributes to cultural, sports, educational, business and social initiatives because it believes that responsible business must actively participate in the life of society. COBALT understands support in a broad sense – it is not only a financial contribution, but also professional legal services, expert knowledge, long-term partnerships and real assistance to organisations and individuals creating value for society.
Culture is an important area of COBALT’s social responsibility. The firm supports contemporary art, music and other cultural projects that help strengthen the creative community, increase access to culture and give greater visibility to talented creators. COBALT is a supporter of the ArtVilnius art fair and the founder of the Best Young Artist of ArtVilnius Award. This partnership reflects the firm’s long-term commitment to contributing to the growth of the Lithuanian art scene and encouraging young artists. COBALT is also a supporter of the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, thereby contributing to the promotion of professional music and the nurturing of culture.
In the field of sports, COBALT supports talents whose achievements promote Lithuania and inspire society. Among the most important supported athletes are discus thrower Mykolas Alekna and fencer Lurdė Grabovskytė. Such support helps athletes focus on their highest goals, develop professionally and achieve results on the international stage. COBALT also contributes to strengthening the wider sports community – the firm is the legal partner of the Lithuanian Basketball League and provides support to sports organisations and initiatives that encourage physical activity among children and young people.
An equally important part of COBALT’s activities is pro bono assistance. The firm’s lawyers contribute their knowledge and experience to non-governmental organisations, social projects, human rights initiatives, support for Ukraine, youth and child welfare initiatives, media freedom, environmental protection and entrepreneurship initiatives. Legal assistance often becomes a particularly important foundation that enables organisations to operate more effectively, safely and confidently when implementing projects of significance to society.
COBALT’s social responsibility activities include more than 25 partnerships across the Baltic States. These partnerships demonstrate the firm’s consistent commitment to being an active and responsible part of society. By contributing to art, sports, education, social and business initiatives, COBALT seeks to create long-term value, strengthen communities and support those whose activities have a positive impact on society.
From COBALT’s perspective, responsibility is not a one-off initiative or an additional part of its activities. It is a daily choice to contribute where the firm’s experience, resources and professional knowledge can be most useful. Therefore, COBALT supports initiatives that nurture talent, strengthen culture, encourage sporting achievements, help vulnerable groups and contribute to building a more open, mature and responsible society.
