MMD advises clients in all aspects of corporate law, ranging from legal advice to future investors on how to choose the most appropriate structure for their investment in Serbia to complex corporate restructurings and advice with respect to relations between shareholders.
We also assure legal advice in relation to regular corporate functioning of a company; ensuring compliance of operations of companies, branches and representative offices with applicable legislation. We also treat issues related to corporate governance, including organization of corporate bodies, internal governance policies and various statutory changes.
Creative and efficient solutions that we tailor are proven means to overcome the instability of the real estate market and the legal uncertainties present in Serbia in this field.
Seamless efficiency and cooperation of our real estate team with our tax and M&A departments ensures a complete service on each project – from design and feasibility work to project structure, financing, construction and supervision, to employment and dispute resolution matters, which all intertwine in complex real estate projects.
We have deep insight into the rationale and standpoints of the regulatory watchdog in this area and also we know very well the European insurance models and manner of doing business in insurance companies. It all allows us to adapt the wishes of our clients with the requirements of this demanding sector in Serbia.
We have participated in the first greenfield investments in the insurance sector in Serbia. Also, we have solid experience in restructuring, sale and purchase of insurance companies in Serbia and in the region, as well as in privatization procedures in this sector. Because we know the “bancassurance” concept, we are able to provide superior quality service in terms of drafting and negotiating such agreements with local banks.
Labor issues represent a matter which, in Serbia, requires serious legal support. Employers encounter numerous uncertainties related to labor relations, as consequence of a large number of legal acts in this sector and an important role of the state and the labor unions. This is why we find right solutions and ensure a minimum-risk environment for our clients.
Having dealt in the past with many requests of our international clients, we are especially well versed in providing solutions which mirror global solutions to the local market.
With the growth of the Serbian market, disputes are also growing in number and complexity. The presence of legal uncertainties, in conjunction with higher accountability standards imposed by the legislator, also increases exposure and risk of dispute for our clients.
We foster a highly reliable and efficient legal team to take care and resolve clients’ disputes. Our lawyers partner with client to identify and implement the most appropriate dispute resolution solution, either by pursuing or defending litigation. Since we represent clients from different industries we work closely with other practice areas and thus offer in in depth knowledge of each specific subject matter.
