Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘They do everything very professionally and at the moment I have nothing to improve.’
‘KP's Bosnian team is a market leader in Competition. Enjoying great synergy with their regional network, they are able to deploy innovative legal strategies and leverage a broader awareness to punch well above their weight in a still relatively underdeveloped legal field in BiH.’
‘Nihad Sijerčić is not only an expert lawyer, but has a keen understanding of the business and market considerations, which he leverages to propose novel strategies and arrangements to counter any complaint or proceeding heading our way. Wouldn't consider anyone else in this jurisdiction.'
