Schoenherr in cooperation with Croatian lawyers

The firm: Schoenherr is a leading full service law firm, with 15 offices and several country desks in the Central and Eastern Europe. As one of the first international law firms to move into CEE/SEE, the firm has grown to be one of the largest firms in the region.

Schoenherr commenced its activities in Croatia in 2001. Initially with a strong focus on M&A, the office profited from the thriving economic activity in Croatia at the beginning of the millennium. Schoenherr, together with independent Croatian lawyers, was involved in most of the headline deals, including privatisations in the insurance and energy industries (gas utilities), private to private transactions in the insurance and banking sectors, and foreign investment in the pharmaceuticals and food trading industries. Building on this early success, Schoenherr has acted for many of the large real estate investors attracted to Croatia in recent years. In line with market developments, the office has recently experienced a rapid expansion of its banking & finance practice.

Areas of practice: The firm’s main practice areas are corporate, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, real estate and construction, dispute resolution, competition,  labour and employment, intellectual property, insolvency and restructuring and privatisation projects and energy.
