Intellectual property

Although a relatively new branch of law, intellectual property law has a special focus in our law office. We recognized the expansion of intellectual property rights at the beginning of our career, and we try to convey its importance to the clients. In any case, today, that importance is bigger than ever given the progress of technology.
We especially emphasize that it is a very important factor in the economic development of the company and the creation of a brand, for which reason it is necessary to protect it at the time.
We advise our clients that intellectual property should be protected like any other form of property, both preventively and timely responses to its violation by third parties or possibly by their own employees. In modern times, it represents a mechanism for financial business development. Its unauthorized use by the competition can create an advantage in the market and inflict and instead of an enormous benefit, create irreparable damage to its bearer.

Labor law

As an indispensable segment of the economy and corporate business, labor relations play, in our opinion, the most significant role in laying the foundation for a successful business management, especially considering the dynamism of the labor market in modern world and the growing lack of adequately qualified personnel.
Accordingly, our approach to this area is very cautious and broad-based. Our lawyers’ prior knowledge follows legislative solutions in the sense of strong stable status of employees and the necessity of a meticulous relationship between employer and employees. From that we come out with practical and applicable strategy with the aim of establishing labor-legal premises as clearly and simply as possible which result in stability and productivity within the collective.
Our clients operate in a variety of fields, including aviation, construction, IT, real estate, telecommunications, food and retail industry, and in addition to the legal point of view of labor relations we recognized the need to provide HR consulting services using the 'outsource' model. In this way, we actively contribute to the creation of a collective and strengthen human resources.

An essential part of successful legal assistance is representation of clients in front of the domestic and foreign courts and other institutions and State bodies. We are proud to have many years of experience in representing domestic and foreign companies, both legal and individual parties, in various types of procedures before the state authorities.
We approach each individual case with special attention and energy, successfully providing outcomes which are often of a vital importance for the party in procedure. We believe that finding a way to avoid a dispute is also an active participation in negotiations as important as representation in front of the court, both in litigation and in other related types of proceedings.
