Unilever Croatia Ltd, Unilever’s Croatian legal entity is supplied mainly with marketing and customer marketing related advices, while Unilever Hungary Ltd, the company that is responsible for sales & distribution issues, is advised in strategic restructuring, sales & distribution and supply chain matters. It is very important for a company located outside Croatia that it receives fast and reliable legal advice from its local legal partner knowing the country’s and the wider region’s legal and political environment very well. Silvije Cipcic, partner of the law firm is in a direct and frequent contact with us. The law firm’s solid legal advices and actions helped Unilever recently to restructure our regional business and also to avoid a major lawsuit in Croatia.”

“Between 2018 and 2020, Čipčić-Bragadin-Mesic and Associates has advised FlixMobility in two M&A transactions related to bus companies in Croatia as well as another cooperation project in the Croatian bus market. Silvije Čipčić-Bragadin consulted us well, digging deep into very specific topics such as domestic, EU, and non-EU route authorizations. Moreover, he represented FlixBus at discussions with authorities. The firm was always committed to our projects and willing to go the extra mile for its client.”

“Strongly satisfied with the service Cipcic-Bragadin-Mesic & Associates provided since the moment we started cooperation. Every interaction was very through, well backed-up, honest and clear action driven. Silvije always gave me complete answers from both a legal and business perspective, and never tried to sugar coat the truth, which is exactly what you need in situation where more alternatives exist. Silvije’s responsiveness is exceptional, but even more important detailed and complete enough, not overwhelming us with unnecessary information, but rather immediately advising alternative actions. In FMCG business legal support needs to exercise in precision and in narrowing down the issues, but also explaining them in simple language, so that solution can be reached as soon as possible, and that all is exactly what Silvije does with excellence.”

Throughout the entire duration of our cooperation, we experience and receive high level of expertise and professional approach. Exploration and production of hydrocarbon is a complexed business, and it is necessary to deal with various legal segments. Silvije and his team was able to navigate us confidently through all the stages of our activity. We were able to rely on his advice during negotiations of commercial contracts, and also communication and dealing with state authorities. It is very valuable that Silvije goes with his answers and advice directly to the topic, without needless information, which makes it very effective in communication and decision making. We highly recommend CBMA legal office if you are looking for a solid advice backed up with strong knowledge of local business and economic environment .”
