About Us

Our senior lawyers have practiced commercial law through several periods in Serbian recent history – transitioning from central planning to a market economy to the ongoing process of harmonization with EU laws. It is this distinct market knowledge, expertise and experience that underpin our legal practice

Clear focus

ZSP is a commercial law firm with a focus on corporate law, finance law and real estate law. We provide legal advice to clients that include listed and private companies, banks and financial institutions, project developers and sponsors as well as private equity funds.

Straightforward and pragmatic

Over the years, we have learned that clients seldom come to Serbia for the sophistication of the Serbian legal system or a desire to test innovative legal solutions. On the contrary, they simply want to cover all the bases, copper fasten their legal structures as much as possible in the face of the unexpected and see their plans through to fruition with the utmost efficiency. This is where our experience in rendering straightforward, pragmatic advice in a frequently confusing legal and business environment come to the fore. We strive to avoid complications and to offer comprehensive advice that can meet any challenges along the way.

Commercially minded

Our clients’ needs are central to what we do. In turn, we prioritise quality of service and our clients’ commercial success, which is why the broad skillset and commercial awareness of our lawyers is of great importance to us. Our senior lawyers have practiced commercial law through several periods in Serbian recent history – transitioning from central planning to a market economy through the ongoing process of harmonization with EU laws.

International

With a client base comprising mostly international companies, we work and think internationally. To that end, we have established close relationships with international law firms, acting as local counsel for inbound investments or primary counsel for outbound investments.

Not all things to all people

We do not purport to be a full-service firm. We perceive ourselves as broad generalists with specialist knowledge in various fields of law. Where clients ask us to handle a critical issue outside of our core areas of expertise, we turn to a small but reliable network of trusted external advisers who can provide expert and discreet advice on the matter at hand.
