TEAM OF YOUR PACEMAKERS AND GUIDES

Meet Professor Dr Rimantas Simaitis, MCIArb – a powerhouse in the courtroom, the classroom, and on the racecourse.
As the head of the Dispute Resolution Department at COBALT— one of the top law firms in the Baltics — he’s a leading legal strategist and conflict resolution expert. But Rimantas doesn’t just dominate legal debates; he also shapes minds as a respected academic at Vilnius University’s Faculty of Law and chairs the Arbitration Commission of the Lithuanian Bar.
When he’s not resolving disputes or lecturing on law, you’ll find him occasionally pushing limits in endurance sports events. A dedicated triathlete and long-distance runner, he has completed five Ironman races and numerous marathons and ultramarathons — including a 70 km ultrarun in Antarctica. This year, he’s preparing for a new challenge: an ultramarathon at the North Pole.

Meet Dr Milda Markevičiūtė, shaking up stereotypes as an Associate Partner at COBALT, focusing on litigation and arbitration. And because that just wasn’t enough, she is also a lecturer and researcher at Vilnius University.
Despite her commitment to jogging year-round, she has impressively managed to complete exactly one half-marathon. So if you’re hoping for a running buddy for a relaxed jog after Vilnius Arbitration Day, rest assured—she won’t be setting any records. When presenting Vilnius and its history during the event, she has promised to try and limit sarcasm and black humor.
When she’s not busy with “work-related issues” or jogging at an extremely reasonable pace, Milda enjoys the finer things in life: a glass of red wine, a paper book, some piano, and the occasional feel-good movie or stand-up special.

Introducing Marius Inta, a legal luminary, adept conflict resolver, and the driving force behind the Commercial Disputes Practice Group at COBALT.
When asked if he runs, Marius would answer: “sometimes”. Because he doesn’t think that running 20,000 km in the last 10 years is an important figure. More important reasons why Marius runs – it’s an escape from routine, freeing yourself from societal and social decision-making. Running is a conversation between your body and mind.
And if the numbers are interesting, then Marius has completed 10 marathons. Most of them are in different countries. Because seeing a foreign country while running is a great experience. Therefore, he invites other colleagues who came to the Arbitration Days to “see Vilnius with their feet”.
