['Andrzej Vilenski', 'Editor Of The Baltic Review', 'Ingvar Henry Lotts']
The Baltic Review
In Lithuania, a country rapidly expanding its FinTech sector, legal knowledge alone is no longer sufficient.
Where Law Meets Tech: A Curriculum Built for the Modern WorldTo address this gap, the VMU Faculty of Law launched a Master’s degree program in Financial Law, designed to combine legal and financial knowledge.
One of the most-sought-after competencies by employers is the ability to understand how financial technology works and what risks, like cybersecurity, are involved.
She emphasizes that while legal and financial knowledge is crucial, soft skills are equally important for a job at institutions like the EPPO, European Commission, or European Court of Justice.
It demands a synthesis of law, finance, technology, and soft skills like critical thinking and adaptability.
