Slovenia

Our legal team of 15 has been advising clients in Slovenia since 2008. Our client list includes Slovenian companies with international operations, international companies and multinationals from a wide range of industries. This list includes in particular industrial and manufacturing companies, the finance industry, automotive, telecommunications, tourism and chemical firms. They all share a belief in the great opportunities in this growth market and they all trust in the expert legal advice we give them. Furthermore, players in the private equity arena and international banks are also increasingly relying on our expertise.

Slovenia was the first former Yugoslavian republic to join the EU and adopt the euro as their currency. In the ensuing years, the legal system was completely remodelled and adapted to EU standards and barriers to investment were systematically removed. It came as no surprise then that Slovenia became a destination of choice for investors. We have made it our mission to help our clients with entry into the growing Slovenian market, to work together and successfully implement our projects.

CMS Ljubljana brings several things to the table to make this happen: legal advice in German, English and Slovenian according to international standards, an efficient regional network and, thanks to CMS’s worldwide presence, rapid access to expert knowledge. We provide our clients with full-service legal support in all matters of commercial law and other fields of expertise. We focus on M&A, labour and tax law, banking & financing, construction law and adversarial proceedings. Tailored solutions are increasingly in demand and we have successfully provided these in the areas of public tenders and lifesciences.

Our staff not only has roots in the local culture but they also feel at home in several jurisdictions. This all forms an excellent basis for us to leverage our regional expertise to your benefit and yet still maintain the impartiality which is essential for the successful realisation of international transactions.
