Working with us
Understanding the project

We assemble a team suited to the transaction or matter. In cross-border projects, we work with your internal team and advisers in other jurisdictions.
Supporting implementation
Our support covers drafting and negotiations, corporate steps and the agreed implementation work. We also advise on legal issues arising once the business is operating.

Can you assist with setting up a Croatian company?
We advise on company formation and the related corporate documents and arrangements. Depending on the project, we also support commercial contracts, premises, employment and business compliance.

Our M&A team supports transaction structuring, legal due diligence, negotiations, signing and completion. We coordinate the corporate, financing, property and employment workstreams relevant to the acquisition.
Can you work with our existing advisers abroad?
We work with clients’ internal teams and legal and financial advisers in other jurisdictions, focusing on the Croatian legal component of the matter.
What should we share for an initial discussion?
A brief description of the business or project, the Croatian companies or assets involved, the intended structure and the timetable is a useful starting point. If the matter is a dispute, include any known deadlines.
