Litigation, arbitration and mediation before domestic and international forums, across commercial, IP, IT, employment and property disputes.
Contact usDisputes are an inevitable part of business, but the way they are resolved decides how much value, reputation and time a company preserves.
Disputes arise in contractual relations, employment, investments, intellectual property, competition and insurance. In international transactions, different legal systems and jurisdictions add a further layer of complexity.
We represent clients across a wide range of proceedings, from domestic litigation and arbitration to international disputes, combining litigation experience with alternative methods such as negotiation and mediation.

It depends on the complexity, the volume of evidence and the efficiency of the court. Simpler cases can conclude within a year; complex disputes, especially with an international element, take longer.
We work to shorten proceedings through interim measures, active preparation of evidence and settlement offers via negotiation or mediation.
Arbitration is often the right route in international contracts or where discretion and speed matter. The procedure is flexible and arbitrators with industry expertise can be appointed.
The cost can be higher than court. We recommend arbitration where speed, confidentiality and international enforceability are the priorities.
Yes. Negotiation or mediation is often more successful: faster, cheaper and less damaging to the commercial relationship.
Our team includes a certified mediator and has extensive experience in amicable resolution.
Engaging counsel too late, poor document management, missed deadlines and signing contracts without legal review.
Each of those weakens the legal position. We advise involving a lawyer early, at the negotiation stage or the first sign of conflict.
A foreign judgment or arbitral award has no legal effect in Serbia until a domestic court recognises it through exequatur. A petition with certified translations, proof of finality and proper service must be filed.
We have experience with the typical obstacles: public policy, jurisdiction and due process.
Arbitration is more common in commercial disputes, but individuals can use it where a contract provides for it — in investment, purchase or insurance agreements.
In practice individuals often prefer the courts because of cost. We advise when arbitration is suitable and draft the clause properly.
Disputes with the Tax Administration, inspectorates and regulators involve administrative proceedings and actions before administrative courts, which require specific expertise.
We represent clients, prepare appeals and complaints, and often act preventively by aligning business practice with the rules.
Cost depends on the complexity, the forum and the value of the claim, and includes court fees, expert opinions, travel and legal fees.
We provide an estimate up front and keep costs transparent throughout.
Tell us what has gone wrong and we will assess the position before the deadlines start running.
