Legal 500 has been analysing the capabilities of law firms across the world with a comprehensive research programme designed to provide the most up to-date vision of the global legal market.

In addition to being ranked as a firm across the board, we are also proud to say that a number of members of our team have been ranked as recommended individuals by Legal 500. Senior Partner Nenad Stankovic, for example, has been acclaimed as a leading individual in the field of dispute resolution, while the work of Counsel Sara Pendjer in dispute resolution matters has also been highlighted in the next generation partners table. In addition Associate Tijana Milisic has once again been recognised as a rising star in the field of Commercial, Corporate and M&A.

The firm’s hard work and commitment to high-level client service is reflected by our overall rankings in Tier 2 for dispute resolution, and Tier 3 for banking and finance; commercial, corporate and M&A; competition; employment; intellectual property; projects & energy; and real Estate & construction.

Most importantly, however, are the many positive comments that were received from our clients during the research process, including that the team was ‘Ready to address every single project with a fresh perspective. They are always reachable and responsive, and show clients on a daily basis how important the client and the matter is to them.’ Also ‘The collaboration and connection they create with the client distinguishes them. Easy communication, great value for money, and very well-educated staff with high-level knowledge of local practices.’ It is good to know how much our clients appreciate the firm’s work.

The IBA’s “Cross-border enforcement of judgments against states – jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction guide”, which was published on 12 March 2024, covers 47 jurisdictions globally and is intended to outline the key requirements for enforcing a foreign judgment against a state entity. It contains essential insights into the complex realm of cross-border enforcement of judgments against states, including issues relating to the enforcement of a foreign judgement against a state in a another jurisdiction, state immunity, due process standards, service requirements and enforcement against state-owned property assets and the property of state-owned entities.

The firm’s involvement in this prestigious project underscores our commitment to providing clients with leading expertise in cross-border matters. As co-authors, we also believe that we have contributed to a resource that will serve as a valuable reference point for legal professionals worldwide who are grappling with the enforcement of judgments against states in diverse jurisdictions.
