Sijercic & Partners boasts one of the leading banking, finance, and capital markets practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Practice head Nihad Sijerčić has been focused on the recent increase in attention from foreign investment banks in the jurisdiction, with a notable uptake in cross-border financings requiring the provision of security instruments from Bosnian entities. The firm has taken on several new clients, particularly in the payments industry, and has assisted with the introduction of several new products and services. This uptake has coincided with an increase in financings of energy projects across several municipalities in BiH. The firm’s expertise also extends to share deal and asset deal transactions, whilst Amina Đugum Brkanić brings a particular specialism in energy and infrastructure to the practice. Ferid Kapidžić departed the firm.
