We are proud to share that Who’s Who Legal, one of the foremost independent legal guide authorities, recommended Partner Tijana Žunić Marić and Attorney at Law Jelena Đukanović as Global Leaders for Data Privacy & Protection in their Data: 2022 guide.
This is the third year in a row that WWL recognizes Tijana Žunić Marić, Partner at Zunic Law Firm and head of the Data Privacy & Protection department, for her expertise and dedicated work in the field of Data Privacy & Protection. In 2021, Tijana was also included in the prestigious Thought Leaders Data guide for her outstanding achievement in the same area.
Moreover, we are exceptionally proud that this year’s Data Guide has included another member of our Data Privacy & Protection Department. Attorney at Law Jelena Đukanović, an invaluable member of our Data Privacy & Protection department, has been awarded as a Global Leader for her exceptional accomplishment and know-how in the Data & Privacy Protection field for the first time.
Both accolades come as an immense honor to both the recognized attorneys as well as the entire Zunic Law team for their meticulous and pioneering hard work in this field in Serbia. Furthermore, given that these honors wouldn’t be possible without recognition from our esteemed colleagues and dear clients across the globe, they serve as a vast privilege and push us to continue on the path of continual improvement.
Following the Who’s Who Legal recognition in 2022, Zunic Law was again awarded by Who’s Who Legal in the field of data protection in 2023 and 2024, earning the firm the status of the most awarded law firm in this area in Serbia.
In addition to the recognition from Who’s Who Legal, Zunic Law has been repeatedly recognized by the Legal 500 international directory, which ranked our firm among the leading law firms in Serbia in the areas of corporate law, intellectual property law, and employment law for 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Our success is further confirmed by the Lexology Index, which named Zunic Law the Law Firm of the Year in Serbia for 2024.
