The establishment, management and operations of business entities are governed by the norms of corporate law which is the basis and core of our practice. Our partners led some of the largest mergers and acquisitions in the region and were part of the team that carried out the most significant privatization procedures of companies that operated with the state capital, and participated in other projects of public interest. Our clients to whom we provide continuous legal support, come from a variety of industries, both from the public and private sector.

Our team consists of specialized and qualified corporate lawyers who are ready to fully respond to all requirements and challenges that companies operating in the territory of the Republic of Serbia may face in their business operations. In each individual case, we try not to limit our legal advice to legal issues, so in cooperation with the client, we always take into account the industry, market conditions, economic interests and business model of the client, related regulatory requirements of competent authorities, as well as the type and the durability of the client’s business in the Republic of Serbia.

In addition to corporate law services, our lawyers are ready to provide a complete service from the role of an experienced business advisor in issues ranging from establishing the appropriate form of legal entity, business organization and founding acts, to negotiating important business ventures, transactions, takeovers of new businesses and restructuring of existing ones.
