As businesses grow and evolve, their corporate documents often need to be updated to reflect changes in ownership, management, capital structure, business activities, or regulatory requirements.
At Lawhill, we provide professional legal assistance with amendments to company deeds and Articles of Association in Lithuania. Our team ensures that all changes are properly documented, legally compliant, and registered with the relevant authorities.
Whether you are restructuring your company, admitting new shareholders, changing management, or updating corporate information, we can manage the entire process on your behalf.
What Are Company Deeds?
Company deeds, commonly referred to as the Articles of Association, are the constitutional documents that govern how a company operates.
These documents define key aspects of the business, including:
- Company name
- Registered office address
- Share capital
- Shareholder rights
- Management structure
- Corporate governance rules
- Business activities
When significant changes occur within a company, the Articles of Association may need to be amended to ensure they accurately reflect the current structure and operations of the business.

Amendments to company deeds are commonly required in the following situations:
- Change of company name – If you decide to operate under a new business name, your Articles of Association must be updated accordingly. Learn more about our Company Name Change Service.
