Despite being a medium sized firm, Zagreb-based Law Office Mucalo boasts a specialist competition practice led by veteran partner and competition expert Igor Mucalo, and consistently punches above its weight in the Croatian market. As a one-stop-shop for local and international clients across a diverse collection of business sectors and industries, ranging from telecoms and media to construction and pharmaceuticals, the firm distinguishes itself through its direct partner to client contact, along with a strong emphasis on client education and workshops. The practice has worked on competition matters ranging from merger, cartel and abuse of dominance cases to representing clients before the Croatian Competition Agency. Partner Kruno Kolak brings a wider sector knowledge to the team, with particular experience in telecoms and the Croatian public procurement regulatory framework. Both Igor and Kruno have been lauded by clients for their accessibility and willingness to take the time to explain the more complex aspects of transactions, receiving particular mention for their 'very direct, wise, and open communication style'. Recent significant matters have included representing both Croatian Post and Croatian Telecom in separate cases before the Croatian Competition Agency, regarding abuse of dominance allegations – both of which were subsequently dismissed by the CCA.
