Europe

Whether you are a foodstuffs company, in the tourism or insurance industry, a financial services provider or a construction company - our Montenegro office advises clients from a wide range of industries. We opened our office in Podgorica in 2012 and since then have been offering our clients full-service legal advice on all issues relating to commercial law.

This comprehensive range of services is particularly necessary in such a dynamic market as Montenegro: This republic, which is situated on the south east Adriatic coast, may be one of the smallest countries in Europe, but it is also one of the most welcoming to entrepreneurs. As a candidate for EU membership, Montenegro has been predicted to experience economic growth, which has made the country all the more attractive to investors. In turn, the country’s legal system will naturally undergo reforms and in addition cross-border projects will become increasingly more relevant. This makes it essential to be able to rely on comprehensive legal advice in all entrepreneurial activities.

CMS can provide you with a competent local representation of your interests: the office is staffed by 2 seasoned lawyers with many years of international experience, who have implemented international projects and who are familiar not only with the special characteristics of the Montenegrin market but also with your needs and the requirements of your industry - since before our office opened in 2012, many clients were advised from our Montenegro desk. If and when necessary, our team in Podgorica is supported by their 25 colleagues in the CMS Belgrade office. We are also pleased to offer our support for cross-border mandates: The integration of our local experts in the international CMS work teams enables us to provide you with seamless advisory services.

If you have any questions on our activities in Montenegro or if you are already in the country and looking for legal advice from an experienced legal firm with an international perspective, kindly get in touch with us. You can reach us at any time by email or telephone.
