Representation in Croatian commercial disputes, litigation and arbitration, with a strategy shaped around the legal issues and the client’s business objectives.
How we can help
We represent clients in complex litigation, arbitration, administrative and other proceedings. Our experience includes commercial disputes in the construction, energy, real estate, information technology and telecommunications sectors, as well as employment disputes, insolvency-related litigation and debt recovery proceedings.
We develop the strategy for each matter around its specific legal and commercial circumstances. Where this serves the client’s interests, we seek an effective negotiated solution before proceedings are commenced. If a dispute cannot be avoided, we assemble a specialist team and remain directly involved throughout every stage of the proceedings.

Commercial disputes in Croatia
We advise Croatian and international clients on disputes arising from contracts, corporate relationships, construction projects, financing and business operations. At the outset, we consider the relevant documents, the commercial objectives and the stage of the dispute.
Our work includes assessing claims and potential defences, developing a procedural strategy and representing clients in negotiations and proceedings. The choice of approach reflects the circumstances of each matter.
Support for international clients and their counsel
We coordinate Croatian proceedings with the client’s internal legal team and advisers abroad. We explain the local procedural steps and the documents needed to prepare and pursue the matter.
For an initial discussion, send a summary of the parties, the key agreements or correspondence and any known procedural deadlines. We will identify the information needed to assess the matter and discuss the next steps.
